Weird?

21st Dec 2012. Today I was reading up on Parkinson's disease which led me to reading up on James Parkinson, the English doctor who first mentioned Parkinson's disease in an essay (An Essay on the Shaking Palsy) he wrote in 1817. My eyes wandered to his DoB and DoD and I saw that he died today - 188 years back on 21st dec 1824. Maybe not a very interesting thing- but it felt kind of weird.
