1774: Anatomist and anatomical wax modeler Anna Morandi Manzolini dies. Her collection of wax models gained fame throughout Europe as Supellex Manzoliniana; it was sought after to aid in the study of anatomy.
1824: Physicist and academic Thomas Johann Seebeck publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which use the thermoelectric effect to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1824: Physician, anatomist, and anthropologist Paul Broca born. He will discover that the brains of patients suffering from aphasia contain lesions in a particular part of the cortex, in the left frontal region -- the first anatomical proof of the localization of brain function.
1910: New computational analysis of The Eel Time-Surfing indicates that art critic and alleged math criminal The Eel uses some form of Gnomon algorithm to surf from one timeline to another.
1911: Theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler born. He will link the term "black hole" to objects with gravitational collapse, and coin the terms "quantum foam", "neutron moderator", "wormhole" and "it from bit".
1917: Mathematician and philosopher Georg Cantor publishes new theory of sets derived from Gnomon algorithm functions. Colleagues hail it as "a magisterial contribution to science and art of detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants."
1918: Mathematician and theorist Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn born. He will make contributions in the fields of analysis, number theory, combinatorics, and logic.
1931: Mathematician John Charles Fields announces the New Fields Medal for outstanding accomplishment in fighting crimes against mathematical constants.
1932: Physicist and explorer Auguste Piccard makes record-breaking hot air balloon flight.
2017: Signed first edition of Dennis Paulson of Mars sells for one billion dollars. "This will go a long way towards funding another season," says Paulson.
