What Wikipedia had to say about my birthday

I saw yet another meme on Gunnella's website. You were supposed to go to Wikipedia, look up your birthday (minus the year) and list three events that happened on your birthday. List two important birthdays and one interesting death and then post this in your journal. Well, I went to Wikipedia, and found it very interesting:

Events:
1924 - St. Petersburg, Russia, is renamed Leningrad.
1945 - Soviet troops liberate Auschwitz, the concentration camp in Poland
1984 - The first Apple Macintosh goes on sale.
Birthdays:
1705 - Farinelli, Italian castrato (d.1782 )
1928 - Desmond Morris, British anthropologist and writer
Death:
1989 - Ted Bundy, American serial killer (executed) (b.1946 )

Other people that share my birthday are Ernest Borgnine, John Belushi, Sharon Tate and Mischa Barton. Roman caesar Caligula was killed and the opening statements of the OJ Simpson trial were delivered on my birthday.
