CanadaI saw this meme on Marc's blog "No magic here" and he picked it up from "Dopplegangland".
Here's how it works: "Look up your birthday in Wikipedia, and pick the following: 4 events, 3 births, 2 deaths and 1 holiday".
So, for January 9th...

Vi este meme en el blog de Marc "No magic here", que a su vez lo levantó de "Dopplegangland".
Funciona así: "Busca tu cumpleaños en Wikipedia, y elige lo siguiente: 4 eventos, 3 nacimientos, 2 muertes y 1 feriado".
 
Entonces, para un 9 de Enero...
