1857 William Seward Burroughs,inventer of the calculator(and to whom mathematicians give daily thanks)

1873 Gabrielle French novelist.Colette (Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette), was born in the French village of Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye. Her career began by her ghostwriting stories for her author-husband ‘Willy’ who locked her in a room until she finished each assignment.(probably her only freedom from such a dick..er,Willy)

1912 Jackson Pollack - artist inventer of dripping painting(but previously invented by 2 year olds with too much red cordial on board)
-------------------
1754 Horace Walpole in a letter to Sir Horace Mann, explained how he coined the word ‘serendipity’. He said that he based it on the title of a fairy story, The Three Princes of Serendip, because the princes "were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of". (how serendipitious for him)
1887 a snowstorm in Keogh, Montana,USA,the largest snowflakes on record were reported. They were 38cm(15 inches)wide and 20cm (8 inches) thick(breed 'em big in Montana)
1939 German physicist Otto Hahn had succeeded in splitting the atom.(but he was able to glue it back together without a hitch)
2003 The case of the talking carp
According to two fish-cutters at the New Square (30 miles north of Manhattan, New York) Fish Market, they were about the slaughter a 20-pound carp to make into gefilte fish for Sabbath dinner, when it suddenly began shouting apocalyptic warnings in Hebrew.
At 4 pm, Zalmen Rosen, a 57-year-old Hasidic father of eleven, and his co-worker, Luis Nivelo, a Gentile who does not understand Hebrew, were about to club the carp on the head when it began yelling “Tzaruch shemirah” and “Hasof bah”, which, according to the shop owner, essentially means that everyone must account for themselves because the end is near. (I blame it on global warming myself)
