Thread title says it all. What interesting events (if any) occurred the day you were born? A great place to check this would be right here. In addition to events, was anybody famous born the same day as you? What were the hit movies and songs? What was the price of gas, etc.

For me, I was born on October 7, 1996 and happen to share the same birthday as Fox News of all things. In addition, the Nickelodeon show, Hey Arnold! premiered the same day.

But anyway, what about you?

Just playing a fun game. Nothing suspicious.
