See what happened, on Earth and in the sky, on the day you were born:

But, most important of all, YOU were born on that day - and you is all that's needed to make the world a better place. You can make anything happen.

**TheAtheist** · 05-01-2007, 12:05 PM

Sod all happened on my Birthday except Georges Charpak getting the nobel prize for physics and The Desk by Marc Newson being brought out. Oh and Brian Jones(Rolling stones man) was born!!!!

**Joefireline** · 05-01-2007, 12:05 PM

This is what I got, nothing special.

My birthday is shared with royalty. Makes sense when you consider that my first name means "warrior" and my middle name means "King."

You can go off people you know.

EDIT: For your edification, Alexander Fleming got the Nobel Peace Prize for penicillin, it was a full moon (hence the hairs on the palms of my hands) and I'll have you know I'm only 32.8 years old.

@GG I'll deal with you later.

**Glaswegian** · 05-01-2007, 03:47 PM

I'll deal with both GG and Zaz later too...

Funnily enough, having clicked on the Martian button, and then the Earth button, I'm now apparently 74 years old. My birthday, now April for some reason, is shared with Marlon Brando, Helmut Kohl and Eddie Murphy.

No wonder I prefer Mars.....

**devil lady** · 05-01-2007, 05:44 PM

Steve Jobs, American computer pioneer
Alain Prost, French race car driver

These 2 born on the same day as me explains a lot.

yustr · 05-01-2007, 06:07 PM

Nostradamus, French astrologer born...but you all knew that ahead of time right?

**Drew1369** · 05-01-2007, 07:21 PM

In the USA:
"Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis

In the UK:
"Ebony & Ivory" by Paul McCartney with Stevie Wonder

the hits of my day!

**Spatcher** · 05-01-2007, 07:39 PM

Hey cool, Mikhail Gorbachev got the Nobel prize during my year.

These were my songs:
In the USA:
"How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" by Michael Bolton

In the UK:
"Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor

And I know none of those songs!

Hey cool, I'm 28 years old

Bloody phrasal verbs, they always come with umpteen definitions... Anyhow, it's never too late to getting to know each other, John.

You share the same birthday with Emile Zola, Hans Christian Andersen and Giacomo Casanova, and you call this "nothing special"?

I can't believe you've never heard of Sinead O'Connor. I'm glad Zaz posted the clip to improve your education.

It's one of my all time favourites.

**MunkyPhil** · 05-02-2007, 05:23 AM

How fitting! My Chinese star symbol thingy is Monkey of Metal!!!

Nothing much else, they missed the death of Jimmy Hendrix (18th Sept 1970), 10 years before my birthday, and a year before Lance Armstrong was born.
