Back in the Day - A new Mac app that lets you check out what...

How often would it need an update?

Once every 20 years?

cat /usr/share/calendar/* | grep `date +"%m/%d"`

Into the terminal window and you'll get the same historical information. replace %m and %d with two digit month/day and you'll get it for whatever day you want.

This is really strange...
Can I update the database myself?

yeah. they're all in the appendix for LOTR.

Yeah its built into the OS.

There is a GUI for everything.
