Put in your birthday to see how many people died on your birthday (It's just a guess) and what famous people died. [Here's mine].

I've got 148,305 people. And 3 prime ministers, world's oldest tortoise, 3 or 4 people of royalty, a first lady, a signer of the declaration of independence AND A POPE. Beat that! >:3

Other stuff:
[What are your chances of surviving a zombie apocalypse?]
[How many germs are on your keyboard?]
[Could you pass 8th grade science?]
[The geek quiz]

Hm, what the hell, it might be interesting.  Let's see.

About 143,388 people died, among them (the only names I really actually recognized) are Dwight D. Eisenhower and Virginia Woolf.  Nobody famous died in the actual year I was born, which is actually nice compared to all the morbidity.   :rolleyes

Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
And the itsy-bitsy spider went up the spout again...

QuoteDon't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes
Some will fall in love with life,
and drink it from a fountain;
that is pouring like an avalanche,
coming down the mountain.
