Remember to tune in again for it in 2061! On this day in 240 BC, there was believed to be the first recorded passage of Halley’s Comet. If you make it to 2061, you can see it pass again. (By the way, Mark Twain totally became a robot and hitched a ride on the comet as a cover for his death.)

Thanks for all the yearbook quotes! You can (posthumously) wish Ralph Waldo Emerson a happy 209^th birthday today. Heck, judging from a review of yearbooks, there is a good chance that you’ve already used his quotes in there.
