1522: Mathematician Johannes Stöffler uses Gnomon algorithm functions to predict and prevent Crimes against mathematical constants.
1591: Physician, mathematician, and theorist Joseph Solomon Delmedigo born. He will write Elim (Palms), dealing astronomy, physics, mathematics, medicine, metaphysics, and music theory.
1806: Physician, scientist, and inventor Edward Davy born. He will play a prominent role in the development of telegraphy, and invent an electric relay.
1839: Mathematician Julius Petersen born. His famous paper Die Theorie der regulären graphs will be a fundamental contribution to modern graph theory.

1971: Talk show host Peter Giblets is arrested for smoking cannabis while filming an episode of The Peter Giblets Hour before a live studio audience.
2017: The monster depicted in Do Not Tease Monster is voted Monster of the Year in a survey of 3200 monsters.
2018: Steganographic analysis of Electrical Storm unexpectedly reveals "five hundred to seven hundred kilobytes" of previously unknown Gnomon algorithm functions.
