Wikipedia History Tag
Celebrate Woo-Woo tagged me for a history research project. Using Wikipedia you search your birthday (month and date, not year). List 3 events, 2 birthdays, 1 death, 1 holiday (or observance) & tag other bloggers. Below is what I found out about my birthday ~ August 24th.
*3 EVENTS:
-1853 Potato chips are first prepared (See I knew there had to be a reason I liked them!)
-1989 Pete Rose is banned from baseball for gambling (It’s OK for players to use steroids, just don’t bet on it.)
-2006 Pluto is no longer considered a planet (I learned that in school for no reason.)*2 BIRTHDAYS:
-Reggie Miller (NBA Basketball player)
-Cal Ripkin Jr. (Baseball Player)*1 DEATH:
-Malcom Kirk (some wrestler dude??)*1 HOLIDAY:
-Liberia Flag Day (celebrate fun times!)
That was an interesting history lesson. I had never been on Wikipedia before, but did you know you can edit it yourself? I actually added my name under the birthday section. Now I’m famous. I’m not going to “tag” any one in particular, but feel free to go search and add your own birthday.
My name is Emily. I’m 30 years old. I have often been told that I ask a lot of questions, but I think I have more to say than ask.

I love Wikipedia; if it isn’t there, I’m convinced it doesn’t exist;>
Glad you enjoyed your tag!
