I think kilo/che/brett shares the same birthday as me, August 28. I'm not sure if anyone else particularly noteworthy does.

One of my good friends bdays is Aug 26, and another one's is Aug 29, but there's virtually no chance of us all partying together for at least a few years due to at least one of us being at school at any given time.

I'll give some fun facts though.

Tacitus will appreciate this one:
475 - The Roman general Orestes forces western Roman Emperor Julius Nepos to flee his capital city, Ravenna, and appoints Romulus Augustus, his own son, as emperor.

1898 - Caleb Bradham renames his carbonated soft drink "Pepsi-Cola".

1907 - UPS is founded by James E. Casey in Seattle, Washington.

1963 - During a 200,000-person civil rights rally in at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Martin Luther King, Jr. gives his famous I have a dream speech.

1990 - Iraq declares Kuwait to be its newest province.

Bdays

1828 (O.S.) - Leo Tolstoy, Russian writer (d. 1910)
1943 - Lou Piniella, American baseball manager
1986- Me

Deaths

388 - Magnus Maximus, Roman usurper
1955 - Emmett Till, American civil rights movement icon (b. 1941)

And that's that!
