Plenty of other people are doing it, so I might as well...

On my birthday:

Three Events

1. 1791 - The United States Mint is created by the U.S. Congress.
2. 1873 - The U.S. Congress enacts the Comstock Law, making it illegal to send any "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" books through the mail.
3. 1915 - NACA, the predecessor of NASA founded.

Three Births

1. 1847 - Alexander Graham Bell, Scottish inventor (d. 1922)
2. 1920 - James Doohan, Canadian-born actor (d. 2005)
3. 1973 - Victoria Zdrok, Ukrainian model

Three Deaths

1. 561 - Pope Pelagius I
2. 1850 - Oliver Cowdery, American religious leader (b. 1806)
3. 1995 - Howard W. Hunter, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (b. 1907)

So, the birth of NASA (as a young'un), a good day for (would-be) Scottish inventors and super-hot ultra-scary-smart porn models, and a bad day for religious figures. It's a good day, I think I'll keep it.

(Edit: The first few I saw did 3+3+3, it wasn't until I read further into my LJ friends list that I realized the meme was supposed to be 3+2+1. I don't want to impugn any of the ones I chose by dropping them in favor of others.)
