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)

Nelson Mandela spoke at Tiger Stadium in Detroit
Striptease was released  |D
And the Halo 2 DLC becomes free.
