A new game: type in your birth date in the google search window and watch what happens. Ex: March 3, 1971
Post here if anything interesting turns up.
Nope, nothing happened, I can only assume it’s a cheap ploy to tell us it’s your birthday tomorrow. 
So happy birthday and all that
I typed “June 22, 1987” and hit I Feel Lucky, and got an article called “Religion is an Obligation”.
Creepy
Hmmm. He does look a lot like me.
Hmmm. I also found out that Anna Nicole Smith, Julia Roberts, Pamela Anderson and I were all born the same year. Distinguished company!

In other words, I’m ancient.

Richard, read again – it’s “Retribution is an Obligation”, subtitled “Capital punishment is society’s way of demonstrating respect for life!”
I tried it and got the New York Review of Books, lead article: “Martin Bernal, ‘The Popularity of Chinese Patriotism’”. 
Wow, I share a birthday with Andy Gibb

Don’t hate me; hate nonentity for starting this thread.
Horribly uninteresting results for me. The first 20 or so web pages were baseball scores. Couldn’t be bothered to keep looking for a “gem.”

Taste the cream of Carmel- batty bylaws, quaint houses and art galleries galore, writes Lee Mylne
October 19, 2003
LEAVE your stilettos at home if you’re planning a visit to lovely Carmel-by-the-Sea in California. “No high heels” is one of the town’s more unusual bylaws, which also include a ban on live music, neon signs, parking meters and fast-food joints.

That might be a freudian slip on my part. Either way it’s pretty creepy.
well i discovered that the wonderful song “she said she said” (off revolver) was recorded on June 21, 1966 by the Beatles at Abbey Road studios…
just in case anyone was wondering the “she” in the song is in fact peter fonda who was recounting an acid trip to john in which he felt like he had died…
glad thats all cleared up then
“housecat is gonna take you back”–Googalism
On the day of my birth (the important bits):
1099 - First Crusade: Battle of Ascalon - Crusaders defeat Saracens and the Kingdom of Jerusalem is established under Godfrey of Bouillon. (and the world has never been the same.)
1851 - Isaac Singer granted a patent for his sewing machine (and the world has never been the same.)
1877 - Asaph Hall discovers Phobos (and we were all pretty happy about it.)
1883 - The last quagga dies at the Artis Magistra zoo in Amsterdam (and everyone was really bummed about it too.)
1908 - First Model T Ford built (thank God for back seats.)
1953 - Nuclear testing: The Soviet Union detonates its first hydrogen bomb. (Wow! Who cut the cheese?)
1981 - The IBM PC, the first bit personal computer, is introduced (and immediately crashes.)
Shared birth days:
– Joe Besser, actor, member of the Three Stooges (the fifth Stooge, Besser did not want to travel and had a clause in his contract specifically prohibiting him from being hit, and so was not a good third member.)
– Pete Sampras, tennis player (who stopped winning as soon as he got married.)
Expired on the day I was born:
– Ian Fleming, novelist (shaken, not stirred.)
– Angus Walters, schooner captain (Nova Scotia’s finest.)
– Ed Headrick, developer of the Frisbee (and the world has never been the same.)
