It's my birthday today! To celebrate, I think we should all share some famous things that happened on the day of our origin.

Neil Armstrong was born, The Beatles released the album Revolver, and the British Navy abolished flogging.

No, same day, different years (or not, if something cool happened on the year you were born).
