867 - Adrian II becomes Pope; 872 - John VIII becomes Pope - this counts as one. But why in the heck do I have so many popes on my birthday????
2000 - The "Texas 7" rob a Radio Shack store in Pearland, Texas, stealing police radio scanners.
2004 - The Millau viaduct, the highest bridge in the world, spanning the valley of the River Tarn near Millau, France and designed by British architect Lord Foster in collaboration with French bridge engineer Michel Virlogeux, is officially opened.
Births (I am in good company):
1503 - Nostradamus, French astrologer (d. 1566)
1985 - Tom Smith, Welsh Rugby Union Player (hmm.. random enough?)
1 Deaths:
1799 - George Washington, first President of the United States (b. 1732)
