[edit] My Birthday

- Hi all, My name is Greg Brotzge and this is my birthday!!!! Just thought I'd let you all know. Thanks for listening

- It's mine to. I think being born on the same day that St. Petersburg was founded may have given me some extra credit in Russian History class.

Congratulations Greg!

-It's mine too! :-D I turned 12 1/2 two days ago!!

The Indy 500 was run on this day (May 27) in 1984

My Birthday too! I didn't know that was the day St. Petersburg was founded. That really brightens up my day for ovious reasons- Vladyslav Ivanovich. Skowronek.

[edit] Suggestions For Removal

- "May 27, 2006: The final of the 2006 Super 14 will be played." I fail to see the encyclopedic relevance of this fact; finals in sports tournaments are played all over the world on any given day. (Btw, May 27th is my birthday too :-)

Agree. Be Bold. --nsandwich 03:52, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Should the fact that every comic paid tribute to peanuts on this day in 2000? LazyLaces 13:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Java Earthquake

May 26 and 27 have the Java Earthquake listed as an event. One needs to be removed, but I am not sure of the true date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.171.42 (talk) 13:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
