Abstract

It is the 22nd of May and we decide to look up born on 22 May on Google. In the blink of an eye, 0.35 seconds to be precise, we get back around 624,000 hits. We click on the first link Google proposes (22 May – Wikipedia) and discover that on this very day in 1859 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland (see Fig. 4.1).
