Coincidences are fantastic and make life much more interesting! Today is the birthday of current World Leaders - Barack Obama (USA; 1961), Frederik Reinfeldt (Sweden; 1965) and José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (Spain; 1960)! It is also the birth date for former World Leaders - David Lange (New Zealand; 1942) and Abdurrahman Wahid (Indonesia; 1940). Other politicians born today include Ted Strickland (Governor of Ohio; 1941), Vicente Alberto Álvarez Areces (Asturias; 1943), Alberto Gonzales (Former US Attorney General; 1955) and several other lesser lights. Strange, but true!
Tuesday's questions are: -
- To what did the African Republic of Upper Volta change its name,
today in 1984? - What was the birth name of the Queen Mother (right) who was born today in 1900?
- Which athlete was born today in 1958 and tripped over Zola Budd in the 3000 metres at the 1984 Olympic Games?
