Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar
One day in 1864, Boole walked two miles in the drenching rain and lectured wearing his wet clothes. He soon became ill, developing a severe cold and high fever. As his wife believed that remedies should resemble their cause, she put Boole to bed and poured buckets of water over him - the wet having brought on his illness. With neither spouse distinguishing good idea from bad, Boole's condition worsened and he died.
(8 December 1864)
There are 3381 births, 3949 deaths, 1122 murders, 498 disasters and 2084 other events about 5737 people in 6449 places until today.
