your birthday in history
Sunday, April 9th, 2006Ët ass zwar net mäin Gebuërtsdag haut (duerfir si mer op der falscher Säit vum Joër), mä foljhendes hat ech grad an engem Blog geliës:
“go to www.wikipedia.com and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year”
An dat maachen heimat. Wië wëll, kann op séngem Blog mat maachen!
Ech wollt dat lo natierlech hei hin schreiwen, mä d’Wikipedia ass momentan "down". Dat gett dann muër op dëser Plaaz nodréiglech dobäi geschriwwen.
