Today in History for the Birthday Men

So, I really didn't do much research on this one...that would have been a little creepy. I mean I love my brother Jon and Boone is great, but that I would take a grip of time to research their special day may have been a little much. However, everyday I get an email from Reference.com so today here is a copy of this day in History with some additions by me:
