One Good Tag Deserves Another; or Turnabout Is Fair Play!

Okay, I got tagged again. This one is really interesting though, here are the rules:

Wikipedia

The rules are:
1) Go to Wikipedia
2) In the search box, type your birth month and day but not the year.
3) List three events that happened on your birthday
4) List two important birthdays
5) List two deaths
6) One holiday or observance (if any)
7) Tag 5 other bloggers to complete


So: April 29th:

Events


1770 - James Cook arrives at and names Botany Bay, Australia.

1910 - Andrew Fisher becomes Prime Minister of Australia for the second time.

Bonus:
2005 - Syria completes withdrawal from Lebanon, ending 29 years of occupation.



Births:




Deaths

1698 - Charles Cornwallis, 3rd Baron Cornwallis, First Lord of the British Admiralty (b. 1655
1980 - Alfred Hitchcock, English film director (b. 1899)

Holidays and observances:



Now, the hard part,
(besides picking only a few birthdays...there is SO many!);
I'm supposed to pick 5 people to tag.
I don't have 5 people to tag that I didn't tag for the last one.
I do have Nomes to thank for this one (see her blog) so she's off the hook.


Instead I think I'll just ask every one who reads this to just find one example of a birth, death, event or holiday that happens on their birthday and leave it on my "commentator" on the right! Okie Doakie??
Okie Doakie!!
