It would be helpful if the posters revealing their DOBs could provide their full names, addresses and mother's maiden names for statistical purposes.

Picasso's "Acrobat & Harlequin" sells for $38.46 million

Seriously it's such a depressing thought that a painting selling was the biggest thing that happened that day according to three different websites!

I have no idea. I just stuck my birthday into google and the first result I got was a 2 hour Genesis concert from Japan on you tube.

I Googled my birth date and not a single newsworthy thing seems to have happened. I found a site of news stories from 1976 and there are stories from the day before I was born and the day after, but it skips my birthday. The only thing I can find is that some basketball player I never heard of was born the same day as me.

harry Bailey esq

my date of birth is the anniversary of the outbreak of ww 1!
