Birthday Meme

Ive been tagged for this meme (my first meme tagging!) by Amanda.
The deal is that you go to Wikipedia, look up your birth day, and then post 3 events, 2 births, and a holiday. Then tag 5 people. I don't actually know that many people on the blogosphere, so I'll tag Anne, Alexis, and Ariel.

May 10
3 events, plus an extra special bonus event (:{
1497: Amerigo Vespucci leaves Cadiz for his first voyage to the "New World"

1872: Victoria Woodhull becomes the first women nominated for the President of the United States
(sad that our world hasn't gone much farther after this....)

1908: Mother's Day is observed for the first time

1970: Boston Bruins win Sir Stanley's Cup for the first time since 1941 when Bobby Orr scores in overtime -- hereafter referred to as "The Goal" (look it up kids, its probably THE most famous hockey photograph)

Births
1838: John Wilkes Booth
1899: Fred Astaire
1957: Sid Vicious
1960: Bono
1965: Linda Evangelista

Holiday
Astronomy Day in the US (who knew? not me)

Also oddly enough, John Wayne Gacy was executed on this day in 1994. And in 1999 Shel Silverstein died.

Also, last night I learned to crochet! Pictures will follow soon.
