h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've recently tried to fill out some gaps in the h2g2 Calendar (A3332233), but there are still some dates which have only one entry:

9 February
7 March
7 May
3 August
10 August
28 August
4 September
7 October
22 December

So rather than searching for easter eggs, I challenge you to search and find Entries within the Edited Guide where these dates are mentioned. Other dates that are still left out of the calendar are of course also welcome. Please post the date and the entry's A number below.

Thanks very much

Here's a place to start cross-checking events:

I admit I've already looked there.

The h2g2 Calendar (and associated article) is a bit rubbish in claiming the winter solstice is always the 21st December. That should go on the 22nd of December sometimes.

My birthday's on your list. I suppose with the new touchy-feely front page, the Eds might want to link to things like that?

I'll talk to them.

Is the arrival and departure of the "prophet" nighthoover on the calendar?

We should have an edited entry on it, really. It's an aspect of hootoo which is recognised on the outside.

2-legs - are you reading this?

Well here's the relevant thread: F19585?thread=143046
(arrived 25th Sept.2001, departed 26th Sept.2001)
but a previous round of software "improvements" have ruined the PS page U183456 (no conversations or date listed any more).

Be a good place to start the research

... or it would be if the flippin' link worked

9th Feb (2002) was the date of Princess Margaret's death. (Also the Weddell's birthday, which is how I come to know this, but otherwise not very relevant).

Though Princess Margaret doesn't seem to have her own EG Entry, the event and its date are mentioned in A14116736 (The Queen Mother)
