January 28

The Rules:
Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (only the month and day). Find three events, two births, and one holiday that occured on your birthday. Then tag five friends.

Events:
1. 1813 - Pride and Prejudice is first published in the United Kingdom.

2. 1958 - Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate begin their murder spree with the killings of her parents and infant sister.

3. 1986 - Space Shuttle program: STS-51-L mission (Space Shuttle Challenger disaster) - Space Shuttle Challenger breaks apart 73 seconds after liftoff killing all seven astronauts onboard, including Christa McAuliffe, who was supposed to be the first teacher in space.

Births:
1. 1968 - Sarah McLachlan, Canadian singer and songwriter (I didn't even know this!)
2. 1981 - Elijah Wood, American actor (I loved this as a pre-teen when North came out)

Holiday:
World Leprosy Day
