Hey, R, could be worse. My son shares a birthday with Hitler and was born on the day Columbine happened! (As in here I am in the hospital with a brand new baby, and one of my roommates came in and told me the news.)
How did you all get so many birthdays? When I did it it didn't list a single birthday!

Lincoln nominated for the presidency 1860
