Today is an Odd Day - 11/13/15

Pay attention, as there won't be a repeat for quite awhile. Sequential odd days only hit six times in a century and this is the last one for the 21st.

The calendrical odd-man-out won't come again for 90 years, when Jan. 3, 2105 rolls around. Then it will be 1/3/5.


240 Year Old Doll

 
A 240 - year - old doll that can write, a clockwork creation by Pierre
Jaquet-Droz. Yes, it’s 240 years old.
 
This clip will fascinate just about all the engineers, artists, clock
makers, doll makers, computer programmers, want - to- be inventors or
basically anyone out there that likes to tinker. This is more than
tinkering.  When you view this, think computers.
Enjoy. It is truly amazing.
 
Remember, this was built in the 1770's.
