Calendar Facts
18 December 2017, 5:00 am

While it may seem like trivia, it (causes huge headaches for software developers / is taken advantage of by high-speed traders / triggered the 2003 Northeast Blackout / has to be corrected for by GPS satellites / is now recognized as a major cause of World War I).

This is great. I'll have to make an AIML file with some random tags to generate random sentences from this.

I liked that and yes, Steve, that would really be a cool way to add "new" items and thoughts....
In the world of AI, it's the thought that counts!

Thank you Tyler. That is very funny. It strips bare the human condition. We justify the vagaries of our year through simple acceptance of the judgement of our forbears', even when we can see it is just not logical or even convenient. We are conditioned to simply honour the judgements of our elders. It makes us more secure to live with it, even knowing the faults, than to question and change it.  O0
