<br>
23rd of April is Saint George's day<br>
(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George</a>). It is also the day that<br>
both William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes died (23 or April of 1616).<br>
<br>
Just to get the background of UN's book day:<br>
<br>
That day, in Catalan tradition, women gave books to their sweetheart and<br>
man gave roses (symbolizing the dragon's blood that St. George killed),<br>
however, nowadays women get a book and a rose and men get only a book ;)<br>

In favor of 23rd of April, we have that it is a holiday in many<br>
countries and cities, from Brazil to Russia, even for the Boy Scouts!<br>

Dunno what do I prefer... Gutenberg for all world and to make a bit of<br>
justice or St. George for my own land and comfort despite being a<br>
Christian figure.<br>
<br>

<br>
So, Bogomil, what's next? Remember to update your wiki and add Turing<br>
and Gutenberg ;)<br>

Best,<br>
