plato the greek or rin tin tin who's more famous to the billion millions

I'm going to do this post now, so that everyone forgets the real date when it comes around. Stolen from JenLa, among others.

The rules: You go to Wikipedia (I refuse to link to it because it you aren't using Firefox with the Wikipedia search window in the corner, you're fucking lame) and type in your birthday (day and month only). Then post three events, two births and one holiday that occurred on your birthday.

July 18

Three Events

• 1984: McDonald's Massacre: In San Ysidro CA, James Oliver Huberty opened fire in a McDonald's, killing 21 people and injuring 19 others before being shot dead by police.
  
• 1989: Actress Rebecca Schaeffer was shot to death by a crazed fan/stalker.
