This one was neat. Stolen from eldawen345:

One should go to Wikipedia and search for the date of one's birthday, without the year. Then post three neat facts, two births and one death.

1777 - Cooch's Bridge - Skirmish of American Revolutionary war in New Castle County, Delaware where the Flag of the United States was flown in battle for the first time.

1939 - World War II: France, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia declare war on Germany.

Births:

1499 - Diane de Poitiers, mistress of Henri II of France

1875 - Ferdinand Porsche, Austrian automotive engineer

Death:
