Question

How can I find out what happened on the year and day that I was born on. It is today ( July 9, 1960 ).

Answer 1

Happy Birthday.......I guess you could do a seach on the web...or go to Bob Evan's if there's one around you. They Sale book their abou the year you were born not sure about the exact date. Good Luck.....Hope you had a great day on your 46 birthday!!!

Answer 2

Unfortunately, Wikipedia.org doesn't have a page for July 9, 1960 yet, nor a page for the year of 1960 (their coverage of events on a year-by-year basis appears to currently cease at 1970, but this date will probably be pushed back as more contributions are made). They do, however, have a page for the date throughout history, should you be interested.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_9

Hopefully that will help.
