Were you born on a holiday?

My birthday's a few days from Halloween, but that's about it. Unless there's an obscure holiday that I don't know about.
Wow, I feel dumb now because I never paid attention to this.
Apparently, my birthday is Australia Day (January 26). From now on, on my birthday, I will go around wishing everyone a Happy Australia Day.
No, I'm not from Australia - but I will demand that everyone around me in the U.S. celebrate this day with me.
My wife's birthday is Halloween. Easy to remember.

Well, I was born on April 10th, and I don't think that's a holiday that we celebrate here.
Lets see what Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_10] has to say on the matter.
Hm, apparently it's the 100th day of the year, that's pretty cool.
The Titanic set sail on April 10th in 1912.
The Belfast Agreement was signed on April 10th in 1998.
So yeah, no holidays here best I can tell. The most interesting thing about my birthday is that my Moms birthday is on the 10th as well, and my Dads is on the 9th. Having three birthdays in two days really kind of sucks actually.

St. Patricks Day here.
Doesn't mean much,since I'm an underage American that's not Irish, but my 21st Birthday will be kickass.

222nd day of the year
"The term "the 10th of August" is widely used by historians as a shorthand for the Storming of the Tuileries Palace on the 10th of August, 1792, the effective end of the French monarchy until it was restored in 1814."
* Roman festivals - Opalia, festival in honor of Ops
