11 April 1954

I know I'm a bit late on this, considering it is the 26th, but I would still like to talk about this date because I find it fascinating.


In case you aren't aware, the 11th of April, 1954 was the day that nothing happened.

Wikipedia states that "This day is denoted as the most boring day in the 20th century by True Knowledge, an answer engine developed by William Tunstall-Pedoe. No significant newsworthy events, births, or deaths are known to have happened on this day."

This website and the CBS website elaborate a bit more on the subject if anyone is curious.

Though, I feel that CBS makes a good point in saying that "The irony is, though, that - having done the calculation - the day is interesting for being exceptionally boring."

I had believed that this day was the day that BBC declared there was no news and proceeded to play classical music, but upon research, this was a different day.

... ... ...

There's not much more I can say about the actual day, but as a fanfiction writer, I have the urge to believe that some sort of Doctor or nation shenanigans occurred on this date. Perhaps I'll write something on it eventually.

Anyway, feel free to tell me what you think about this, or any ideas of what might have happened~
