Happy Bank Holiday Monday to UK readers.  Here in the US, it's Memorial Day.  The Diet of Worms ended on this day in 1521 and Martin Luther was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church.  In 1895, Oscar Wilde was convicted of committing gross acts of indecency with other male persons and sentenced to two years in prison.  The Battle of Dunkirk began on this day in 1940 and in 1977 a little sci fi flick called Star Wars was released.  Celebrating birthdays today:  Ian McKellan, Frank Oz, Paul Weller and Mike Myers.
