Meme thingie
Vanlal tagged me with this meme, so it looks like I must submit to the demands of the meme. Here goes:
1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year).
3. List three events that happened on your birthday.
4. List two important birthdays and one interesting death.
5. Post it.
My birthday is on the 17th of November.
Events:
1558 - Elizabethan era begins: Queen Mary I of England dies and is succeeded by her half-sister Elizabeth I of England.
