Who/what do you share your birthday with?

Today is the 116th birthday of Argentine's oldest citizen, Adolf Hitler. Which seemed like a good enough reason to ask the people here: who or what do you share a birthday with?
I suggest checking wikipedia for events that happened on particular days.
I share a birthday with:
The soviet union (1922)
Emperor Titus (39)
Rudyard Kipling (1865)
Dell Shanon (1934)
