I am one of those people who often goes to the Wikipedia to find out what notable people were born on the current day of the year. It’s amazing how much you can learn if you just pick an interesting person and go to their Wikipedia page.
Once there, you might start to follow the links, and before you know it you’re way down the rabbit hole. It’s usually a very satisfying journey.
I know that there are people who have exactly the opposite habit. They turn to the Wikipedia to find out what notable people have died on the current day of the year.
The Wikipedia is very accommodating, whatever your tastes. For any given day of the year it lists both the notable people who were born on that day and the notable people who died on that day.
It seems to me that this might be a defining psychological trait. Are you a person who is more curious about what lives were started, or a person who is more curious about what lives were ended?
In either case, I wonder what that says about you.
