This One is for BigBro

Dear Readers I don't think you all know this but BigBro is a total wikipediaholic. It's true, he may not be ready to admit it but he spends hours clicking through links. So in honor of BigBro I give you a game involving Wikipedia.

1. Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday. Month and date only.
2. List 3 Events that occurred that day.
3. List 2 important birthdays.
4. List 1 death.
5. List a holiday or observance (if any).
