My kind of plaque!!!!!!!!! This is what I'd make, if I made plaques. Great find! You made my day, Andrea. Now I can go outside, dancing. (It's like a famous gravestone that said, "what're you lookin' at!") Thanks for uploading this---dynamite!

The fact that nothing happened on that particular day is itself significant. :D

Great find!

Wouldn't this have been much funnier as 1752 due to this date being excluded from the calendar in Britain due to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar to correct the inconsistency between the Old Style and New Style dates. Just saying!

Yes, probably an embarrassing mistake by the makers, too late to go back after casting quantities. No longer available, this could be why!

Assuming this was actually created in 1782, it reveals a very modern sense of humor for that time. Given the bad news we're bombarded with constantly these days, it would be great to hear this from one day from our newscasters...
