    I took out 130,505 people. But apparently nobody famous.

    Georg Hackenschmidt, an Estonian professional wrestler, died on the day my brother was born. What a portent that was!

    Only 121,092 People died.

    I wonder how many people where born on the same day?

    Mr Kamwendo was born on 14 May 1958 in Mpika Zambia, no idea if he ever did anything famous.

    130,955 for me. Oddly they don’t give any additional “morbid facts” about it, but I’m sure that’s just because it happens to be 11 September.

    I gotta change my birthday. :(
