January 26 over here... let's see which names actually jump out at me and my complete and utter lack of cultural context...
Ellen DeGeneres
Wayne Gretzky
Eddie Van Halen
Gene Siskel
Charles XIV
... aaaand a bunch of others that I don't recognize.
It's also apparently when a whale exploded in 2004 and when St. Petersburg was renamed Leningrad in 1924. And the date of the most important birth in history - Paul the Octopus.
Died October 26, 2010, at the age of two. RIP in Peace, Paul the Octopus.
