Feb.8 in 1445 was a Monday ! :-( That means the first Pancake Day should be February 9, 1445.-- PFHLai 20:10, 2004 Aug 31 (UTC)


Why is the destruction of Dresden (1945) not included? The Allies killed 200 000 people on this day, according to Soviet authorities.

Why ? The simple reason is that the anniversary of the bombing of Dresden is Feb.14th, not Feb.8th ! I'm getting there, just not there yet .... Fine. I'll do it now if someone is so anxious .... :-> -- PFHLai 06:21, 2005 Feb 9 (UTC)

John von Neumann

[edit]

Feb 8 2007 specifically is a very interesting anniversary. It's the 50th anniversary of John von Neumann's death, and he left a secret box [1] with unknown contents to be opened today. His daughter Marina has the box. However, there is a recent sketchy report that the box, mentioned by various sources, was somehow not his. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JonathanHF (talkcontribs).

Basically under the Selected anniversaries editing guidelines, births and deaths can only be used on centennials. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 10:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
