My nan was born 11/22/33 in the American system of writing the date. 30th birthday was the JFK assassination.

Some famous people with really distinctive dates of birth are American actor Craig T Nelson (04/04/1944), Princess Beatrice of England (08/08/1988) and Australian actress Angourie Rice (01/01/2001). No excuse for forgetting their birthdays.

Jack Sears, the captain of WAFL team Peel Thunder also has a date of birth that is impossible to forget - 11/09/2001. As I pointed out on another thread his name is kind of ironic, as the building that eclipsed the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in height when completed in the mid 1970s was Sears Tower in Chicago.

A lot of great artists paintings are worth a lot more after they died.
