Whose Special Day Is It?

I changed this from something I saw at Chefleur’s blog  

because I”m like that.

The way it worked was that

you were supposed to find holidays and

historical things that happened on your birthday.

 

Here is what I learned about

November 5th. 

– amm-

 

November 5, 1979- Ayatollah Khomeini declares the USA to be “the great Satan”

Actually, I remember this when it was on the news. My mom looked up from my birthday cake- which was red velvet with black frosting- stared straight into my eyes and said, ” I don’t think so.” 

November 5,1780 – French-American force under Colonel LaBalme is defeated by Miami Chief Little Turtle.

An Invader Guy gets his butt whomped by a Native American guy named Little Turtle on my birthday. God I love that.

November 5,1605 – Gunpowder Plot: A plot led by Robert Catesby to blow up the English Houses of Parliament is thwarted when Sir Thomas Knyvet, a justice of the peace, finds Guy Fawkes in a cellar below the Parliament building.

My Niece was born on Cinco de Mayo and I was born on Guy Fawkes day. I sense a pattern here…

November 5,1935 – Parker Brothers releases the board game Monopoly.

The only game I can play, win and cheat at. Yes, the only game I’ve ever mastered and it was released on my birthday.

That’s destiny

and it all happened on

November 5th

  1. Oh My Gosh Criminy- it’s like the book of the dead over on August 10th at Answers- I’m sorry but I need a moment…you know, to a compose myself.

    ( I was NOT snickering…I was clearing my throat. )
    ps Happy Pre-Birthday, I’ll remember to smack someone alongside their head in honor of the day

    amm

  2. You’ll like this one AMM: January 23, 1897 – “Elva Zona Heaster found dead in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. The resulting murder trial of her husband was perhaps the only case in United States history where the alleged testimony of a ghost helped secure a conviction.” Wikipedia.
