2 years and 4 days ago (I had the receipt, which is why I noticed the difference) the same meal cost 7.65.

Wow, this is quite a rise! What do you eat with half a day's payment?

1599 the Bard (if it was him) was very busy. Four of his most famous plays were written in that year: Henry the Fifth, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and Hamlet.

Yes, the Bard, you got it right, my friend.

And back to our counting.

1601 ΑD Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, a longtime favourite of Queen Elizabeth I of England, begins a rebellion against the Queen. The revolt is crushed the next day. The Earl of Essex and Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of Southampton are arrested and charged with treason. Essex confesses to the plot and then implicates his co-conspirators. Monsfort is executed, but Essex is sentenced to life in prison. He is released two years later after the Queen's death.

Αrticle 1602 of the Geec civil code defines the details of the legal supervising of minors.

Aye... the Bard is the bard.

1603 An error message that signals an error when attempting to update Google Games Play Beta. I have never received this error, since I do not use Google Games Play Beta. But it has an ominous sound.

1604 ΑD Charles (Karl) the IX rises to the throne of Sweden.

1605 - the year of the Gunpowder Plot giving rise to November 5th being Guy Fawkes' day.

1606 b- the above mentioned Guy Fawkes is executed on 31st January

Remember, remember, the 5th of November, the Gunpowder treason and plot!

I hope you are refering to Guy Fawkes Day, and not to the film, "Vendetta," which while quoting the G.F. song/poem, has nothing to do with the sentiment or concept of Guy Fawkes Day itself...

But meanwhile, back in The Counting Game:

1607 A group of ill-chosen and ill-prepared settlers landed almost by accident on the North American continent, establishing a colony at Jamestown. The fuddled and blundered and stumbled through to the beginning of European permanent presence across the pond. Nearly failing, nearly dying-out, nearly giving up, they held on until a 1610 resupply effort brought new hope, better chosen resources and tools, and better prepared colonists.

Yes (obviously, given the context), though I didn't want to elicit what was originally intended as anti-Catholic sentiment either

1608 ΑD A harsh winter passes for England with extremely low temperatures, something equal to the winter of 1302, which was named the year without summer.

1609 AD, King Philip of Spain expelled Moriscos (Arabs who were Christians in faith) from his domain.

1610 AD Galileo discovers the first six of Jupiter's satellites.

1611 AD One of the earliest uprisings against Turkish rule in Greece. It is crushed by the Turkish army swiftly, and its leader, bishop Dionysius is killed by impalation.

1612 Galileo makes the first known observation of Neptune (though he didn't realise it was a planet).

1613,a misfired cannon burnt down Shakespeare's globe theater. According to Sir Henry Wotton: "only one man had his breeches set on fire, that would perhaps have broyled him, if he had not by the benefit of a provident wit, put it out with a bottle of ale."

1614, 7th April - death of the painter Domenikos Theotokopoulos (aka El Greco).

1615 Pisco Puro Quebranta is a premium Peruvian pisco from Bodega San Nicolas.

Apparently some social and cultural silly analysts claim that if you notice the time 16:16 someone you secretly love is in love with you. Someone should make a film about that.

I noticed the time; let's see if anything happens!

1617 AD Pocahontas dies from smallpox; Disney left this part out!

The age limit for open-carrying handguns (at least in Texas) without a license.

Wait, I missed a few numbers...

1618 - The Thirty Years' War begins
1619 - Ferdinand II becomes Holy Roman Emperor
1620 - Mayflower arrives in Plymouth, MA
