Interesting things that happened on my birthday

I got this idea off of someone's blog and thought I would give you some interesting tidbits of information about random stuff that happened on my birthday in past years.

- 1942 Anne Frank begins to keep a diary
- 1952 U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs a bill into law that places the words "under God" to the United States' Pledge of Allegiance
- 1967 Mariner 5 is launched towards Venus
- 1993 A week long product tampering scare, later proven to be a hoax, occurs as customers throughout the USA discover syringes in unopened cans of Diet Pepsi Cola (I knew that Pepsi was evil!)
- 2005 Asafa Powell from Jamaica sets a new world record on the 100 m sprint in Athens with 9.77 seconds.

It is also Mothers Day in Afghanistan, Flag Day in the USA, and the International Webloggers Day!
