Weird

Here you can find a list of the various things that have happened over the years on August 26^TH, the Doctor's dreaded day. Some of the things are cool: Caesar invaded Britain; Joan of Arc entered Paris; Michelangelo was commisioned to carve the Pieta; the Amistad was captured; women were given the right to vote in the United States; and many famous people were born (including, of all people, Mother Teresa and Macaulay Culkin) or died (including Charles Lindbergh and Hailie Selassie).

But note the entry for 1987: Ronald Reagan proclaims September 11 1987 as " 9-1-1 Emergency Number Day." Eerie.
