Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) Why today is important!

I been thinking about this for some time now. And I guess I never know if I don't try it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The idea is to post something that happened on the day you post it. Can be anything. Birth of someone famous (or your birthday <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />), a discovery, a disaster, ...
Simple, no?

Examples from the last couple of days:
-02 may 1775: Benjamin Franklin finishes his studies about the gulfstream.

-03 may 1860: Vito Volterra is born in Ancona, Italy

-04 may 1825: Thomas Huxley (also known as Darwin's bulldog) is born in Ealing, UK.

-05 may 2005: Setharmon starts a new thread.
