July 26 - a day for a universal language that no one knows

JUDAS they shouted.

July 22 - Pie is good for the mousetrap

 Apparently, the poem about the Pied Piper of Hamelin was said that the piper led out the rats on this day in 1376.

So it's Ratcatcher's Day (the Brothers Grimm said it should have been June 26, 1284, who do you believe?)

To catch a rat you need good bait, and what better than pie?  Well, for a mathematician, the best pie is pi.

Today is pi approximation day.  July 22... 22 / 7 ... and if you divide 22 by 7, you can get an approximation of pi.

Then in 2009, the UN decided to honour Nelson Mandela with his own day... today.

Which is also Nelson's birthday.

 Today is World Youth Skills Day

Speaking of skills, learning a language is one of those, and when it comes to learning languages, they say that the Rosetta Stone was the first real link for several of them, and it was found on this day in 1799.

And a man with some skills, enough to earn him a Nobel Prize was Leon Lederman, who developed experiments to prove the existence of neutrinos.

He was born in 1922.
