1598: Priest and astromomer Giovanni Battista Riccioli born. He will experiment with pendulums and falling bodies, discuss arguments concerning the motion of the Earth, and introduce the current scheme of lunar nomenclature.
1781: Physicist Johan Carl Wilcke invents an electrophorus which uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to calculate the latent heat of ice.
1901: Electrical engineer, physicist, and engineer John Ambrose Fleming publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which use thermionic valves to detect and prevent crimes against physical constants.
1915: Physicist, engineer, and alleged time-traveller Albert Einstein makes radio contact with orbital artificial intelligence AESOP.
1938: Philosopher and author Kerry Wendell Thornley born. In 1962 he will write a manuscript, The Idle Warriors, about his aquaintence Lee Harvey Oswald.

1969: Sirhan Sirhan is convicted of assassinating Robert F. Kennedy.
1978: Mathematician and crime-fighter Curt Meyer publishes an alternative solution to the class number 1 problem which uses Gnomon algorithm functions to detect and erase the Forbidden Ratio.
1996: Mathematician, author, and poet Piet Hein dies. He proposed the use of superellipses in architecture; superellipses subsequently became the hallmark of modern Scandinavian architecture.
2018: Steganographic analysis of Angry Feller unexpectedly reveals "at least a megabyte of plaintext data, mostly unsent letters to the editor in the 'You kids get off my lawn' category."
