Giving Something Back - 50k for Trivia (in Contests)

Since I did so well at the W/E with the Canadian thing, I think it only fair to give something back to the community (in a warm, fuzzy, sharing, fluffy bunny kind of way)
So, tomorrow being my Birthday, whoever comes up with the most interesting fact about the event will get 50k.
I was born on 4th July (obviously), 1964 - which makes me 43.
The place was Tidworth in Hampshire, England.
I joined the Navy when I was 17 (3rd January 1982).

Right, you've got dates, years, numbers and places - just one piece of trivia about any could get you 50,000 cool $CB

My decision is final (so RL bribes could sway me ;-) )

Good Luck

interesting fact = you will be 44 Tomorrow

born was waning crescent.

ATM, JW is in the frame (I think for Tolkien)
Lam would be well in the lead, if he had only thought about his answer

(And Spawn too) - show some ingenuity folks :-P

By the way G_Beee - had you found an English win I would have been suitably impressed, and the cake can wait till I'm back on Thursday!! (Or tokens for the Struan)

Heh, you're kidding yes? After all you're 43, not 143 mate.

you were born only 39 years, 4 months and 27 days before cb2.

The guy who sits on the cubicle across from me was born on July 4 as well. =)

Pretty cool!

lol k - OB is in the lead for:
a) Not something I could easily have Googled
b) 'Cubicle' always makes me laugh (blame it on Dilbert)
c) The sheer smile I got when I imagined the conversation:
'Yeah well, I play this online game. Well, no, there's no graphics. Well, yeah, it is quite a lot of maths. Yeah it could be described as a 'Geek' game. 'Women? Well, there's Bast...'

Your birthday has fallen on the one (relatively) sunny day London has had in the last week.

Indeed, Cypress wood salesmen have started throwing themselves out of windows...

Congratulations OB :-)
