So, I've decided to brighten up your day by telling you some interesting things that happened on your birthday in history.

Mine is July 19th.

The Salem Witch Trials were held on 19th July 1692.

The first steamship was launched on 19th July 1843.

Brian May, the guitarist for Queen, was born on 19th July 1947.

Tell me your birthday, I'll tell you what happened.

The 16th August? I suggest you celebrate your birthday this year with a glass of Coca-Cola, calling someone on the other side of the Atlantic and listening to Madonna and the Beatles.

The first transatlantic telephone call was made between the USA and Great Britain on 16th August 1858.

Cyprus became independent from Great Britain on 16th August 1960.

Ringo Starr became the drummer for the Beatles on 16th August 1962.

The stock market in Canada crashed momentarily because a solar flare disabled all microchips on 16th August 1989.

Madonna was born on 16th August 1958.

John Pemberton, inventor of Coca-Cola, died on 16th August 1888.

Babe Ruth died on 16th August 1948.

Elvis Presley died on 16th August 1977.

-----------------------------------------------

James, you're the 14th July. I suggest you celebrate your birthday this year by staring at the stars and dreaming about money.

The spacecraft Mariner 4 took the first photos of the surface of Mars on 14th July 1965.

The US government stopped the production and circulation of $500, $1000, $5000 and $10,000 notes on 14th July 1969.

William Hanna (from the Hanna-Barbera cartoons) was born on 14th July 1910.

Billy the Kid died on 14th July 1881.

Other than that, your birthday is pretty boring speaking in historical terms.

That's not true!

Roman Emperor Nero committed suicide on 9th June in the year 68 AD.

On 9th June 1856, the Mormons arrived in Utah.

Also I believe 9th June 1938 was the first appearance of Donald Duck!

On 9th June 1958, Gatwick Airport was opened in London by the Queen.

You also share your birthday with Johnny Depp and Miroslav Klose, who has recently performed very well in the Euro 2008.

If my memory serves correctly, Charles [reconsider word choice - it'll get you banned] died on 9th June 1870.
