It was just meant to be a deceiving topic title

I've picked the most important events from April 26th to make a joke trough emphasizing the importance of Tomba's birthday (now Principessa will kill me

).

Tomba's birthday is important historical date, who said it isn't?!

Did I get away with it?

Well I got the general idea. I'd call it 'this day in history' or something

Hey Tomba..Many many happy returns of the day mate!
