Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

During a concert by ‘Kamagurka en de Vlaamse Primitieven’ I stood on the stage blindfolded and with my hands and feet tied up. Now and then several musicians pushed me over.

BirthFactDeath (-) Wednesday 25th of November 1970 56 years, 8 months and 8 days ago
Poet, writer and actor Yukio Mishima born as Kimitake Hiraoka commits suicide by Seppuku at the age of 45 in Eastern Command of Japan's Self-Defense Forces Headquarters, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Kantō, Japan. The act was to end in Mishima's ritual decapitation by Tatenokai member Masakatsu Morita. Morita, who was rumored to have been Mishima's lover, was unable to perform the decapitation properly: after several failed attempts, he allowed another Tatenokai member, Hiroyasu Koga, to finish the job. After Mishima was decapitated, Morita also attempted to commit Seppuku and was beheaded by Koga.
