Is your birthday significant?

[Kurama]

Every year (unless you're born on February 29th, then you have my warmest condolences) we celebrate our birthdays. However have we ever thought of whether our birthdays are tied with a significant event in history? I've taken the initiative to find out and list the most significant happened on the date of my birthday:

21st January

1793 - Former King of France Louis XVI is found guilty and guillotined as a result of the French Revolution
1919 - First ruler of the Korean Empire Emperor Gwangmu dies
1924 - Communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin dies
1925 - Albania becomes a republic
1954 - First ever nuclear powered submarine, USS Nautilus, is launched
1968 - Debut of the Battle of Khe Sanh (one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War)
1985 - Inauguration of US President Ronald Reagen for a second term
2008 - Black Monday, stock exchange plunges to 9/11 levels
2013 - Public inauguration of Barack Obama for a second term

One more thing, the 21st of January is also National Hug Day

Is your birthday significant?

"Significant" is an interesting word -- I suppose that were I born on January second, I would think that it was significant, for some reason or another. But I was not; I was born on the first day of January, 1995.

My birthday is July 21st, and it was the day the verdict on the Scopes Trial came up, the first battle of Bull Run in the American Civil War, and also the birthday of one of my favorite authors, Ernest Hemmingway
