History! How I love that! The past deeds and events that somehow changed the course of future and that built the present we are now experiencing. Some events brought bad consequences, some did good, but in an overall…History is one of the subjects we can learn much from, you know: Never repeat again the mistakes and try to follow the good examples!

As now we are enhanced by the new Java Elvish Calendar made by Erutulco, we can play around with some important dates of the past in an elvish way…(as we usually do here).

So….fuel your DeLorean’s….cuz it’s time we’re going for a ride….
