melayneseahawkThe GIANT F-LOCKED ENTRY OF DOOM is here, for those who are interested.
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts,two births and one death in your journal, including the year.
19 April
1. 1692 - Bridget Bishop goes on trial in Salem, Massachusetts for witchcraft.
2. 1775 - American Revolutionary War: The Battle of Lexington and Concord – British General Thomas Gage attempts to confiscate American colonists' firearms. Captain John Parker orders his band of minutemen to not fire unless fired upon. Random shots rang out among the British soldiers. The minutemen promptly fired back. This was the "shot heard round the world." The British are driven back to Boston, Massachusetts, thus beginning the American Revolutionary War.
3. 1927 - Mae West is sentenced to 10 days in jail for obscenity for her play Sex.
1. 1946 - Tim Curry, British actor
2. 1967 - Dar Williams, American musician and songwriter
1. 1689 - Queen Christina of Sweden (b. 1626)
Ironically, 19 April is also the end of the Roman holiday Cerealia, which I wrote about a few days ago for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
wellymuck. Equally ironically, it was during the rehearsals for Crucible that I found out the bit about Bridget Bishop for the first time. Thus, during every performance, whenever Bridget Bishop was mentioned, I would giggle. Bridget is the one who "lived with Bishop three years before she married him"; I find it oddly appropriate. (I'm also the geek who every night, when Proctor said the line "I say...I say God is dead!", I would say "Hail Nietzsche!"; needless to say, no one got the joke.)
Additionally amusing, the article about a possible Gospel of Judas. This is especially amusing to me because The Last Days of Judas Iscariot was Wednesday night. One of the important points in Judas is that, at the Last Supper, Jesus told Judas to "do what you got [sic] to do." I'm so entertained.
