Go to Wikipedia and put in your birth date. Don't put in the year. Post in your LJ with three neat/important events, two births, and two deaths!

Events:
1933 - The Blaine Act ends Prohibition in the United States. (They ended prohibition for my birthday! Huzzah! I sense a party theme for sometime in the future!)
1958 - Pope Pius XII declares Saint Clare of Assisi (1193~1253) the patron saint of television
1959 - The first weather satellite, Vanguard 2, was launched to measure cloud-cover distribution.

The shared birthdays of shame:
1953 - Norman Pace, British actor and comic (one half of Hale and Pace)
1981 - Paris Hilton, American actress and heiress (Aiee! The horror!)
(There were remarkably few decent births listed. Which is odd, as I know there's a fair few, I just can't remember who they are!)

Deaths:
197 - Clodius Albinus, Roman usurper (killed in battle)
1609 - Ferdinando I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (b. 1549)

Surprisingly fun meme.

And yes, a Prohibition themed party is required!

Wouldn't that mean we'd not be allowed booze, or if we did have any, if the authorities (eggwhite) caught us, we'd be thrown in to "jail"?
