… inventors' day and therefore a day we celebrate the perpetuum mobile (below)
1659: Denmark pwned Swedend after pwning attempt on Copenhagen@dk
1808: Jesse Fell burns anthracite
1916: Emma Goldman arrested for teaching birth control
1939: Lockheed XP-38 flies for some reason from California to New York in less than 7 days 18 hours and 13 minutes

1990: Nelson Mandela released from prison
1990: Mike Tyson probably regrets saying hello to a 42 to 1 underdog called James
Notable first time appearances:
1755: Albert Cristoph Dies (but that doesn't happen until 1822. Strange)
1840: La Fille du Régiment
1843: I Lombardi
1855: Emperor Tewodros ver 2. People still want to be emperors, which probably says something about (lack of) knowledge of history.
1938: Sci-fi television
1903: Bruckner: Symphony no. 9 in D minor (not the posthumous one, of course)
1953: Jeb, brother of George
1959: Yemen wannabe
1964: Sarah, hockey mom and tea-drinker
1969: Rachel
1972: A Slipknot

Notable first time appearance of Australians
1890: David Drummond
1937: Bill Lawry
1965: Vicki Wilson
1980: Marco Bresciano
1982: Neil Robertson
Notable last time appearances
55: Roman emperor wannabe Tiberius Claudius Caesar Britannicus (age 14).
According to Wikipedia "under mysterious circumstances". And still people wanted to be emperors!
244: Emperor Gordian ver. 3.
Also under mysterious circumstances. And still people wanted to be emperors!
1873: King Amadeus ver 1 of Spain.
Not mysterious as he kept on being Amadeus until 1890.

A patent claim for a perpetuum supermobile was rejected in 1979
NB! The US patent office follows the sound and explicit practice of rejecting a perpetual motion patent application without a working model. Still, applications may pass the scrutiny of an individual patent examiner and therefore be granted, but that doesn't mean that the USPTO think that they'll work. Far from it: A list of applications can be found under there under the
perpetual motion gimmicks headline. I was especially intrigued by the Geforce emulator.
