UPDATED - I had missed that today was the anniversary of one of my piping heroes, the truly legendary, Gordon Duncan. He passed away on this day in 2005 at the age of 41
Going to have to go find my shirt of his xray again.
Apparently, Monkey Day is a thing. Created back in 2000 by a couple of art students to celebrate "all things simian".
How do you celebrate Monkey Day? I'm guessing eating a banana. Which, did you know that bananas are slightly radioactive? True fact.
Something definitely radioactive to a higher degree is Plutonium. Today was the day, in 1940, that Pu-238 was able to be isolated at the lab in Berkeley.
I love chemistry, how early chemists especially were able to look at the elements they had discovered thus far, come up with a periodic table of the elements and predict what ones should come next.
Predictions was an area that Nostradamus was famous for, and today would have been his birthday, born back in 1503.
