Wikipedia Birthday Meme

Duffy and Mel have piqued my curiosity, so I'll pass along the Wikipedia Birthday Meme. The chore is to visit Wikipedia, look up your birth month and day (no year), and post three events, three people who were born, and three people who died on that day.

On December 6, we find:

Events

• 1849 - American abolitionist Harriet Tubman escapes from slavery.
• 1933 - U.S. federal judge John M. Woolsey rules that the James Joyce novel Ulysses is not obscene.
• 1947 - The Everglades National Park in Florida is dedicated.

Births

• 1900 - Agnes Moorehead, American actress (d. 1974)
• 1958 - Nick Park, British filmmaker and animator
• 1971 - Ryan White, American AIDS activist (d. 1990)

Deaths

• 1352 - Pope Clement VI (b. 1291)
• 1889 - Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America (b. 1808)
• 1993 - Don Ameche, American actor (b. 1908)

Give it a try. It's harder to narrow down to just three than you might think. And if you're introspective and given to such things, you might wonder what it says about you that you'd choose to list Endora over scientists, artists, religious leaders, and heads of state.
