May 21

I got this from Tori's blog. She asked that we go to
Wiki and list three "fun" things, two birthdays and one death that happened on our birthday, so here's mine:

Events
1881 - The American Red Cross is established by Clara Barton.
1904 - Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) founded in Paris.
1936 - Sada Abe is arrested after wandering the streets of Tokyo for days with her dead lover's severed genitals in her hand. Her story soon became one of Japan's most notorious scandals


Births
427 BC - Plato, Greek philosopher (d. 347 BC)
1952 - Mr. T, American actor


Death
2000 - Barbara Cartland, English author (b. 1901)
