1834: Inventor and crime-fighter Charles Grafton Page correlates transdimensional corporations with crimes against mathematical constants.
1843: Rudolf Clausius publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions based on thermodynamics.
1915: Physicist and academic Robert Hofstadter born. He will share the 1961 Nobel Prize in Physics (together with Rudolf Mössbauer) "for his pioneering studies of electron scattering in atomic nuclei and for his consequent discoveries concerning the structure of nucleons".
1958: Transdimensional corporation spontaneously generates four-dimensional bacteriophage, perhaps as a result of the Tybee Bomb event.
1978: An episode of Euglena Junction shocks viewers when the actor playing the role of Uncle Joe is eaten by water fleas.
