Speaking of Holidays...

The James Randi Educational Foundation puts forth the following commentary:

Happy Newton’s Birthday! Just 361 years ago this next Thursday, Sir Isaac Newton was born, a man we know existed, someone who contributed hugely to his and to our world, and a chap we can and should commemorate by means of observance of his birthday. Instead, most of the world chooses to believe that another guy was born on this day, a notion for which there’s no proof at all.
