That was interesting. I knew I shared my birthday with Christian pacifist Leo Tolstoy, and with David Soul, but now also with Goethe, whose name is often pronounced with the missing /r/. Also with Bruno Bettelheim and some Chinese emperors.

If you forgot what day of the week you were born on, this website tells you.

1959: It doesn't seem like much at all happened that year. A boring transitional year.

Fidel Castro became premier of Cuba(and still there)
