Today's Google doodle, I notice, celebrates the 131st anniversary of the invention of the hole punch. Now, I'm pretty keen on all things stationery-related, but this seems to me to be pushing it a bit – and I speak as the man who recently celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Norwegian who very nearly invented the paperclip (a grateful Norway still provides more Nigeness readers than any other nation).
There were a few other anniversaries Google could have marked today – Moby-Dick, Fanny Mendelssohn, Claude Monet, Astrid Lindgren, Aaron Copland – but no, the hole punch it had to be. No contest.
