On This Day Wiki

I saw this on a couple other blogs. You 'wiki' your birth day and see what things of note happened on your day of birth. Here are mine:

November 11:

1834 - Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling was first published.
1864 - American Civil War: Sherman's March to the Sea - Union General William Tecumseh Sherman begins burning Atlanta, Georgia to the ground in preparation for his march south.
1918 - World War I ends: Germany signs an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside of Compiègne in France. The war officially stops at 11:00.
1966 - NASA launches spaceship Gemini 12.

Agh, this isn't really Wiki. It's BBC On This Day.

Whatever, it's still interesting.
