Today{29th April} is the birthday of Roget's Thesaurus? In 1852,
Peter Roget published the first edition of his thesaurus.
Trivia fans: Roget's general inquisitiveness and his Victorian
faith in social and personal improvement led him to publish
learned articles on sewer sanitation, magnetism, bees,
geology, and how the knight might be moved to every square on
the chessboard.

Today's Inspirational Quote:
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a
pessimist who is always right."
