For August 11

The Almanac of Absurdities for August 11, 2010. This day, in the year 3114 BC was day one of the famed Aztec Calendar. The last day, apparently, is about two years off. Thelonius Monk's birthday today. Also Roy Scheider's. On this date in the year 897 history records the death of a certain Wilfred the Hairy, Count of Barcelona, gone but not quite forgotten.
