I was looking to see if there was any famous people who were born on my birthday...as I looked over the list(I'm sure it's not a comprehensive list of everyone born on July 28th) I realised there are lots of composers, inventors, and athletes and I thought "hmm, there sure are alot of creative, ambitious people listed here." - but then it clicked, "duh, that's why they're on the list!"
The only person I recognized at all was Ludwig A. Feuerbach(1804), German philosopher who if famous for the quote "Man is what he eats" Isn't that a profound statement, in many ways!
Some events in history:
2005 IRA issues a statement ordering the end to the armed campaign against the British
1988 IBM announces price hike on older models
1951 Walt Disney's "Alice In Wonderland" released
1943 Italian Facist dictator Benito Mussolini resigns
1943 President Franklin D. Roosevelt announces end of coffee rationing in U.S.
1914 World War I began when Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia
1586 Sir Thomas Harriot introduces potatoes to Europe
There you have it! The 28th of July, full of history.
I know it's been a while since I've posted, sorry, sometimes there are things more important than the internet...like being lazy! :)
I hope everyone has a happy Ben's birthday!!!!
On a completely different note, I found this old car today:
I guess it was loved, a lot. Maybe too much?
