hi haddowz that is interesting as we see those things at the time they happened then time rushes on and we forget all about those facts. I also love to find a site that will take your birth date and show you what happened on the day you were born.Yep we have to have some fun every now and then.

Hello, I'm not sure if you meant you have found a site or are looking for a site that tells you what happened on your birthday. But if you use the link I added in my original post then that site will tell you some interesting facts. Enjoy.

I like to see what happened in history "on this day." It helps keep a perspective on how and why things are the way they are today, but then, I enjoy history. I think we need to know it to keep us from making the same mistakes and to help us do the right things again.

It does not seem to matter whether we know what happened in the past or for what reasons, we still seem to make the same mistakes. I guess it's just human nature. Oh well, it's still interesting though, have fun and enjoy. 3rd. November 1992 Bill Clinton wins U.S. presidential election against President Bush. 1964 Lyndon Baines Johnson defeats Barry Goldwater for president. 1931 1st commercially produced synthetic rubber manufactured. 1930 1st vehicular tunnel to a foreign country, Detroit - Windsor, opens. 1900 1st U.S. automobile show opens at Madisonn Square Garden (New York City) .
