This is a list of anniversaries that was initially compiled by Crunchydillpickle and hopefully will be lovingly nurtured by Wikipedians who enjoy calendar-driven trivia and oddities. It's as if WP:UNUSUAL and WP:OTD had a baby! I would love if you added to it, but please be aware that I'll remove any additions that I don't consider sufficiently unusual (sorry). If you were thinking "Hm, this is cool, but I wish it were less goofy and more focused on classical music!" then boy oh boy are you going to love Gerda Arent's page!
Notices!
- I need to add some entries from the list of unusual deaths and list of last words.
- Some of my summaries are almost certainly a little wrong. I copied some of these over from a document that a friend and I have slowly, sloppily maintained for months. Imagine a phantom [citation needed] tag next to everything.
Things I'd like to find a date for:
- Schichlegruber Doing the Lambeth Walk, a 1940s film that made fun of Nazis
- Jet Lady a bizarre album by the female pilot who patented the first true electronic flight bag and also had a talk-variety show on public access TV in the early 80s in Los Angeles. She also got .15% of the votes in the 1981 LA mayor election??
