Vuelvo a insistir, muy bueno esta sección de efeméridis, no se de donde obtene los datos ni me importa, pero como se trata de un formato determinado, porque no pensas en crear un nuevo blog con identidad propia, denominado "On this day in History", y posteas todos los días en "Nothingndall" al otro.
Desde ya te pido disculpas por meterme en tus tiempos, sólo tomalo como una sugerencia de un lector.
Te mando un abrazo.
