Mmmmore mmmemes

I found this very cool blog called Sweet Memes (sweetmemes.blogspot.com).Here's an interesting one to try: Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three interesting facts, two births and one death, including the year.

Facts:
1946 - The UN General Assembly voted to establish its headquarters in New York City (my city).
1962 - The Mona Lisa was assessed at US $100 million, the highest insurance value for a painting in history.
1999 - Charles M. Schulz, creator of the comic strip Peanuts, announced his retirement.

Births:
1503 - Nostradamus, French astrologer and mathematician (d. 1566)
1897 - Margaret Chase Smith, American senator from Maine (my birthplace) (d. 1995)

Death:
1591 - Saint John of the Cross, Spanish friar and poet (b. 1542)

Now wasn't that fun?
