I was born 22/11/1963, the same day that J.F.K. was assassinated.

Coincidence, Centurion?


Not sure about this, FC. It doesn't mention either of us as significant births by name, for one

Kudos to mentioning The Eagles and Pink Floyd, though.

And his brother was assassinated the very day my cousin was born!

Rudolf Hess is found dead in his cell in Spandau Prison. Hess, 93, is believed to have committed suicide by hanging himself with an electrical flex. He was the last remaining prisoner at the complex, which is soon demolished.

Now I feel old...I used to date someone who spent a tour of duty guarding him in Spandau.
