theyellowhobbitBithday meme: Look up our birthday on wikipedia [leave out the year], and list 3 interesting events, 2 births, and 1 death.
February 19th
Interesting events:
197 - Roman Emperor Septimius Severus defeats usurper Clodius Albinus in the Battle of Lugdunum, the bloodiest battle between Roman armies.
1847 - The Donner Party is rescued. It is noted that some of the survivors seem to be remarkably well-fed considering their ordeal.
1964 - Paul Simon writes "The Sounds of Silence," the song which, in a year and a half, will catapult him and Art Garfunkel to stardom as Simon & Garfunkel.
Births:
1473 - Nicolaus Copernicus, mathematician and astronomer (d. 1543)
1963 - Seal, British singer
Death:
1553 - Erasmus Reinhold, German astronomer and mathematician (b. 1511)
And because I'm special:
* Chaoflux (Discordianism)
* Astrology: First day of sun sign Pisces
* Astrology: Can also be last day of sun sign Aquarius depending on the time of birth and the astrologer's viewpoint.
