It’s a date which will live in anonymity.
Sunday, April 11, 1954, was the most boring day in modern history, according to one computer scientist’s calculations.
It was Election Day in Belgium, a Turkish scientist was born, and — according to the front page of the following day’s New York Post — two Bronx cops attended an academic conference on juvenile delinquency.
“We analyzed hundreds of millions of facts about dates and famous people” to find the least eventful day since 1900, William Tunstall-Pedoe told The Post.
Tunstall-Pedoe did the calculation to promote TrueKnowledge.com, his new search engine, which answers questions by plundering troves of facts.
“Unlike a typical day in the 20th century, there were no significant deaths or births or notable events on that day,” he said.
The only notable birth was that of Abdullah Atalar, a Turkish academic.
New York news was slightly more interesting that day, however.
“Police sought two gunmen who were routed by the unarmed night manager” after trying to rob a Bronx garage, read one Post story.
