I kinda like this meme:


Go to http://en.wikipedia.org and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

1632 - Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems is published.
1865 - Tennessee adopts a new constitution that abolishes slavery.
1997 - In Roslin, Scotland, scientists announce that an adult sheep named Dolly had been successfully cloned.

1732 (N.S.) born - George Washington, first President of the United States
1968 - born - Jeri Ryan, American actress
(it was between Jeri and 1982 - Jenna Haze, American pornographic actress - but I figured the geeks would appreciate Jeri more. ... Or would they.... ?)

1680 - died - Catherine Monvoisin, French sorceress

Jeri completely and thoroughly kicks arse.

True story: she's a competitive skeet shooter. On her first day on the set of ST, she was handling a phaser rifle as if it were real. The director had to take her aside to tell her that phaser rifles don't have recoil.

She was disappointed to hear it. :D
