1686: Scientist and bishop Niels Steensen dies. He questioned explanations for tear production, the idea that fossils grow in the ground.
1814: Physician and physicist Julius Robert von Mayer born. He will describe the vital chemical process now referred to as oxidation as the primary source of energy for any living creature; but his achievements will be overlooked and priority for the discovery of the mechanical equivalent of heat will be attributed to James Joule.
1841: Mathematician and logician Ernst Schröder born. His monumental Vorlesungen über die Algebra der Logik will prepare the way for the emergence of mathematical logic as a separate discipline in the twentieth century by systematizing the various systems of formal logic of the day.
Charles Sanders Peirce invents new variety of Gnomon algorithm, anticipates future work by Ernst Schröder.
Rose water factories in league with Rosewater cannon industry, charges Roger Zelazny.
Writer-Sorceror Roger Zelazny is behind the Rosewater cannon trade, says supervillain Abomynous.

Proposals to flood the Sistine chapel meet with local opposition.
