Birthday meme

Holly posted a cute Birthday meme and I'm so stealing it. You go to Wikipedia, look up your birthday, just the month and day, not the year. Then you pick 3 events, 2 births, 1 death and 1 holiday to share with your readers. So here's what I picked for July 12-

1812 - War of 1812: The United States invade Canada at Windsdor, Ontario
1960 - Etch A Scetch, the drawing toy goes on sale
1886- Queen (band) Plays at the Wembley Stadium

1937 - Bill Cosby, American comedian and actor

Death-
1950 - Elsie De Wolfe, American socialite and interior decorator (b. 1865)
