NPR story says that new research points to April 11, 1954 being the most boring day since the dawn of the 20th century. Nobody famous was born, or died - and nothing else really happened either. article here |

Obviously, that "supercomputer" never worked with some of the surgeons I see. They redefine boring. |

Wait a minute, didn't Oppenheimer's hearing begin on that day? |

I entered my second trimester on (or about) that date. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Thanks to this story, April 11th, 1954 is now a highly googled search term and has been the subject of numerous articles across the web. As a result, it is no longer the most boring day ever. That title now belongs to April 9th, 1954 coming in with a measley 195000 google hits. |

April 11, 1954 is the day the extraterrestrial visitors landed at the UN with the intention of asking us to join the Galactic Federation. The whole landing and meeting thing went so badly the visitors found it necessary to mind-blank everybody in the world for that day. Boring? No. Forgotten? Yes. |

Theorem: There are no boring days. Proof: Let us suppose there there have been boring days. Then surely there must be a first boring day in the history of the universe. However, being the first boring day is a quite special property: the day is interesting by being the first boring day. This is a contradiction, hence our original assumption that there are boring days must be wrong. QED. |
