There are a bunch of famous people who died on my birthday, apparently.
(That’s the 10th of December, for those of you who want to note it down.)
Luminaries include:
- Augusto Pinochet (2006; military dictator of Chile)
- Eugene J. McCarthy (2005; US Senator)
- Otis Redding (1967; singer)
- Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1938; founder of Republic of Turkey)
- Alfred Nobel (1896; inventor of dynamite and founder of nobel prize)
and my personal favourite:
- Karl Barth (1968; Swiss theologian)
