Dydd Gwŷl Dewi Sant hapus!
Wishing our Welsh contingent (yeah, Annetan & Leni, we're looking at you!) a happy St. David's Day. Nearly interesting things that have happened on this date:
The Unitas Fratrum (Moravian Church), the second oldest Protestant denomination in the world, was founded in 1457. Rio de Janeiro was founded in 1565. Nikola Tesla demonstrated radio to the public for the first time in 1893 and the Soviet Union's Venera 3 crash landed on Venus in 1966.
Born today: Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510), Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), William Dean Howells (1837-1920), Lytton Strachey (1880-1932), Glenn Miller (1904-1944), David Niven (1910-1983), Ralph Ellison (1913-1994), Harry Belafonte (1927), Roger Daltrey (1944) and Atomboy.
