… the day pibbur comes to Tromsø in the northern part of Norway. Because the group of hospitals where he's working are planning to replace their 4 different major pacsesss (Picture Archive and Communication System = digital storage of radiology images) and a whole lot of minor onesss, with one pacs to rule them all. It's a huuuge and complicated task. And they've done it in Tromsø, although on a smaller scale.
It's also the day when
12BC emperor Augustus, nee Octavian, got another job as high priest in Rome. Observe that said Augustus reached the age of 76 years, quite a feat for a roman emperor.
1454 Preussian confederation pledges allegiance to Casimir ver. 4.0 of Poland, in order to make him pledge allegiance to them in order to pwn a few teutonic knights aka Ordo domus Sanctæ Mariæ Theutonicorum Hierosolymitanorum.
1521 Ferdinand comes to Guam
1788 First fleet comes to Norfolk Island. Unlike pibbur whose purpose of coming to Tromsø is to learn about merging pacsess, they wanted to create a convict settlement. One would think there would still be plenty of space in Australia for that purpose, but who am I to know? Oz may have been filled to the rim with convicts and kangaroos. And wabbits. And those funny looking Eucalyptus eaters. Not to mention all the snakes and spiders. Crocs?
1869 The periodic table
1899 Aspirin
1912 THE DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS OREO COOKIE!
1964 King Constantine ver 2.0 of Greece who, despite being called king of Greece, actually is no longer king of Greece, becomes king of Greece. Sort of.
1983 First match in the United States Football League, which of course is not a football league, but a "football" league.
Here's John Cleese.
Pibbur who doesn't feel particularly teutonic, but who supposes Alrik does. And Jaz. And some others.
