According to the Julian calendar, used in England at the time, Sir Isaac Newton was born on
Christmas day, December 25,1642 which would actually be, January 4,1643 on the Gregorian
calendar that we use now after Pope Gregory XIII's edict in 1582, but before England changed
in 1752. Sir Isaac Newton was born the same year Galileo died.
But, nonetheless, I still like to wish people a Happy Sir Isaac Newton Day on December 25.
I also hope that you all had a happy Winter Solstice Day back on December 21st.

Do you think Jesus is pissed that we celebrate his birthday on Christmas. After all the asshole was born in the fall.
You sure Cog? If there is absolutely NO evidence Hey-soos ever existed, how could be born in the fall?

@Cognostic: After all the asshole was born in the fall.
Nah. Had to have been April 1. He's the god of fools.
I'm not picking up my end of the rope. It was just something silly I once read in an old book.
