Today is the birthday of Robert Stirling,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Stirling
the inventor of our much-beloved Stirling engine.
Since he was a Scot, I'm going to lift a dram of single malt to his memory after the sun is over the yardarm.
For history buffs, it's also the anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt, which gave Shakespeare the inspiration for his play "Henry V" and taught Englishmen the two-fingered salute.
