I suppose I am somewhere in the middle, between Mussolini and Clara Bow.

Silly meme to pass the time. Wikipedia your birthday, minus the year; choose three events, two births, and one death. My b-day is July 29th*, but I am a terrible Leo. Does anyone know about those things ? Am I on the cusp of something-or-other ?

Events:
1014 - Battle of Kleidion: Byzantine emperor Basil II inflicts a decisive defeat on the Bulgarian army, but his subsequent savage treatment of 15,000 prisoners reportedly causes Tsar Samuil of Bulgaria to die of shock.
1954 - The Fellowship of the Ring, the first part of The Lord of the Rings, is published in the UK.
2005 - Astronomers discover 10th planet.

Births:
1883 - Benito Mussolini, Italian dictator (d. 1945)
1905 - Clara Bow, American actress (d. 1965)

Death:
1890 - Vincent van Gogh, Dutch painter (b. 1853)


People got busy, guess it was the summer heat.

*I just realized my user info has stated that my birthday was July 28th for, oh, I don't know, ever. Typo.
