Today is ...

… the day pibbur goes to Hamburg. And the day he understood something said to him in Danish.

Where are the others?

0235: Maximinus Thrax becomes emperor of Rome. Needless to say he lived only a couple of years after that. He never went to Rime.
1616: Sir Walter Raileigh leaves Oblivion at Tower of London
1815; Napoleon goes to Paris
1848: Ludwig ver. 1.0 steps down
1923: Picasso goes to Chicago
1990: Imelda Marcos goes on trial
2006: Larry goes to Eastern Australia to destroy bananas


Notable first time appearances
1602: Dutch East India Company
1883: Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, an intellectual property treaty.
1916: General relativity
1987: 1-[(2R,4S,5S)-4-azido-5-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]-5-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-2,4-dione (it may look like an Ultima Dragons Internet Chapter signature, but it isn't)

Let it be known that there are 470000 googles for Eddie Cantor. And that pibbur has an UDIC signature: a56d++e++U4567'!S'!89!A!LM
 
… the day pibbur goes to London

AND

1188: The day little Antoku creeps to the emperor throne of Japan. According to Wikipedia this happened in 1188. However. According to Wikipedia the same emperor died in 1185.
1413: The day King Henry V goes to becomes king Henry V
1871: The day Stanley presumably goes looking for Livingstone. I presume.
1970: The day of the first day of the earth.
1980: The day mr. Carter decides not to go to Moscow
1980: The day someone was going down to shoot J.R. Presumably because he caught him messing around.

The day of the following notable first time appearances:

1854: An Australian
1917: An Australian
1968: An Australian
1978: An Australian

16,000,000 googles for an Australian. At the moment of writing no votes for "an Australian pibbur".
 
But I googled for the phrase, "an australian pibbur". BIG difference. Sadly, there is one google for that now.

Maybe if I spamifize it a bit; No googles for "an australian p.1.b.b.u.r". YESSS. Fooled them"!!!! *hums triumphantly* Waltzing Mathilda, waaaaltzing Mathilda…….*coughs*

EDIT: GOOGLE I HATE YOU! (hope this won't ban me from playing any of my games).

EDIT 2: But seriously, it is a bit scary how quickly their whatever-they-use catch up on things we post.

Google has too many and too good programmers. I'm betting that they are the ones who create the machines that will rule the world... :(

It starts with simple bots, then with bots that can find anything in the world, the bots that can walk and find anything in the world ... And so on... It's a slippery slope...

One question: When will they change their name to Skynet?
 
… is a day when pibbur remains in London.

And a day dedicated to emperors

0238: Gordian 1 becames emperor of Rome, togehter with his son Gordian 2. Their reign lasted for a month in the year known as the "Year of Six Emperors"!

1913: Phan Xich Long, self-proclaimed-but-not-widely-recognized emperor of Viet Nam is arrested after failure to seize power. His supporters had, after drinking invisibility poitions placed bombs here and there, none of which detonated, and the not-so-invisible-insurgents was arrested. Those of us who have played TES games know they would - after all invisibility breaks if you try to do something. Why they didn't go for Chameleon in stead is anyone's guess.

1916: Yuan Shikai resigns as emperor of China, and continues as president until his death in june 1916. He made himself emperor 22 dec. 1915, after having served(?) as president since 1912. As they say: Easy come easy go.

Australians were born on 1818, 1908, 1990

1,460,000,000 results for "australia", but only 229,000,000 for the combination of australia and australia. Which probably says something.
 
From Wikipedia, 20th of march events:

2006 – Cyclone Larry makes landfall in eastern Australia, destroying most of the country's banana crop.
 
... another day in London which pibbur spent mostly at the science museum and walking around piccadilly circus and shaftesbury avenue and therefore he is tired and not particularly interested in anything besides watching tv and playing morrowind on his laptop and drinking a pint of kronenbourg 1664 especially not what other people have been doing on this very day so this is what you get. Period.

1400: The Tran Dynasty goes to Oblivion
1708: The old pretender arrives at Firth of Forth
1848: Scots come to NZ
1868: The Organic Act is signed into law and by that the University of California is launched. "The organic act", huh?

1965: NASA spacecraft Ranger 9 publicly crashes with moon
1989: Exxon Valdez oil spill


Notable first time appearances
1882: Mycobacterium tuberculosis as described by dr Koch. A nasty little bugger that one (the mycobactrium). To give you one example: in 1850 the incidence of deaths from tuberculosis was 400/100 000 per year. If unchanged, today the disease would claim approximately 18 000 casualties, many of them young people. This says something of the impact of tbc.

1938: Holger Czukay
1956: One Steve Ballmer
1965: The undertaker. It's not real!

The following persons (with minor name spelling errors)are according to google not connected to australia:

- Kylieeeee minogue
- Corwwwwin
- d2rkjf

And even if spelled correctly the connections between "Lars-Gunnar Hartveit" and Australia are very limited (0.4 percent of all votes)
 
I think that connection needs to be improved!! :) While you can't yet take a train from there to here, we do have some excellent train trips in this country. Perhaps you should consider that for your next holiday!! :)

Interesting blog Pladio…….. interesting to see our Mars theory discussions being in there… + The degree thing was very insightful :) Perhaps an attempt at redemption after the programming debacle :D ( D.s. recursion and dynamic programming is very complex subjects... so it is just some friendly "picking" :D )
