Birthday Meme

This is how it works:

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 and one death.
5) List one holiday or observance (if any).


Here are my birthday stats:

Events
1889 - The Eiffel Tower is inaugurated.
1949 - The Dominion of Newfoundland joins Confederation and
becomes the 10th Province of Canada.
1994 - The journal Nature reports the finding in Ethiopia of the
first complete Australopithecus afarensis skull

Birthdays
1929 - Liz Claiborne, Belgian fashion designer
(I went with one here as there were more interesting deaths)

Death
1727 - Sir Isaac Newton, English mathematician and physicist
1855 - Charlotte Brontë, English author
1945 - Anne Frank, German-born diarist

Holiday
César Chávez Day - official holiday in five states and many cities across the U.S.
