Things that happened on my birthday
I've been tagged by the incomparable bluez for this assignment.
I should clarify that today is not my birthday. That happened just about a month ago.... ;>)
I have to find my birthday on Wikipedia and list three events, birthdays and a holiday that happen on that day. I've added three deaths too, just to be a trifle morbid.

yes - but did you know about the emporer?
yes, you've told me about the emperor bit before.

I am SORRY I missed your Birthday sweet Green!!
