Actually, in Anderson's biography there is a rumor (or a family secret of the Guevaras) that he was born in May and not in June as comonly known. The thing was that because he was conceived when his parents weren't married (which was and still is in some places a big taboo) society would have seen this as disgraceful. So they simply said that young Ernesto was premature and put a lid on the secret. I think Che's mother revealed the secret many years later. Interesting fact!! ^_^

Indeed.

However, if I recall correctly, he used 14th of June as his birthday in the bolivian diary.

Yeah, 'cause that was his official birthdate according to his birth certificate. Maybe this explains why Che is the featured article in Wikipedia.

if che was born on may 14 he would have been a taurus and that would have made him quite headstrong and decisive so i think thay a gemini would not suit him(june 14)but who knows ;)
