"My Birthdate in History" Tag

Such are the nature of things - when they don't arrive, you can wait till the cows come home and they won't be here; when they do come (things, not cows), they do so in waves.

They've got sayings for this probability-defying phenomenon, for both good things and bad.

好事成双

祸不单行

Anyways, it has been a pretty long time since we last received a tag. And then it happened. I got tagged. Two times. By two bloggers. In one night.

The first came from Mama Tang at TangSanctuary. Since this is the easier one, I'd start with it before proceeding to the one from Idy at Twin Terror.

Ok, tag rules:

1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. Type in your birthday and search your birthdate : February 4.
3. From the results, list down 3 events, 2 births and 1 holiday.
