The Most Boring Day In History
Computer programmer William Tunstall-Pedoe has calculated that 11 April 1954 was the most boring day since 1900. On that day, a general election was held in Belgium, a Turkish academic was born, and an Oldham Athletic footballer called Jack Shufflebotham died. Apart from that nothing much happened. Mr Tunstall-Pedoe's computer programme, called True Knowledge, came to its lofty decision after being fed some 300 million facts about "people, places, business and events" that made the news. Using complex algorithms, True Knowledge determined that particular 1950s Sunday to be outstanding in its obscurity.
