Which happens to be my birthday :-)

And I share it with:

1964 - Mats Wilander, Swedish tennis player
1904 - Deng Xiaoping, leader of the People's Republic of China (d. 1997)

Perhaps a sign of my golden aura [despite my dislike for (yellow) gold (I prefer silver / platinum / white gold)], I found out that:

22 August 1851: Gold discovered in Australia
22 August 1926: Gold discovered in Johannesburg, South Africa
