1954 - Elvis Presley makes his debut as a public performer. (Thank ya, thank ya very much)
1956 - A joint resolution of the U.S. Congress is signed by Dwight D. Eisenhower authorizing "In God We Trust" as the US national motto. (We're trying Ike, we're trying . . .)
Birthdays:
1818 - Emily Bronte - English novelist (can't figure out how to accent the "e" but I'm sure she'd forgive me)

Other notable birthdays: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kate Bush, Laurence Fishburne, Lisa Kudrow, Hilary Swank & Jamie Pressly
Death:
1985 - Julia Hall Bowman Robinson, American Mathematician (b. 1919)
She was the first woman president of the American Mathematical Society and was best known for her work on Diophantine equations and something called "game theory" where she proved that the fictitious play dynamics converges to the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium in two player zero sum games. (Uhhh . . . . what?)

If Seth stops puking in the next day or two....I'll have time to play!
: )
I'll play - cool idea!
Hi, thanks for the visit! I'm hopeless at tagging games. Not computer-savvy enough!
I am so in and already done! Check me out...
My brother was born on the day Elvis Presley died, 16th August '77, but that's the only birthday related fact I have up my sleep, actually I think that day is Madonna and Micheal Jackson's birthday too. Don't know anything about my birthday though!
I'll play along.
Someday it will read "Kim, Famous American Writer". ;)
:)
I loved reading your events and shared birthdays! Very fun!
I played along and had fun. It was quite interesting! Thanks for the game. I passed it on as well.
Emily Bronte would totally forgive you (and me)...I'm sure. Arnold might not though, so I'm not even going to try to type his name in unless it's been spellchecked. I'm a July baby also...might have to look this up for myself.
Love,
D.
Very cool Kim!
I was tagged by Cheryl! I found this to be fun and very informative! It was hard to choose the amount we were given.
Very Fun!
Wow, lots o' cool stuff happened that day - including your grand entrance to Planet Earth. :-)
