Jan 25, 1924
The first Winter Olympics was held in Chamonix(霞慕尼), France.
Sixteen nations took part in the games, with Germany banned from entering.
Today, January 25, I want to commemorate two Roberts.
The first Robert is Robert Burns.
Burns Night on January 25
Many Scots will host a Burns supper on January 25, the birthday of the greatest Scottish poet Robert Burns (January 25, 1759).
Who is Robert Burns?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
That's him.
Burns is voted 'The Greatest Scot Ever' by the Scottish public.

But I am not in favor of celebrating anyone's birthday.
I believe no one, as a newborn baby, deserves anything to be celebrated because they haven't done anything to the world yet.
That's why I celebrate the deathdays of great people instead.
The second Robert is Robert Williams.
On January 25, 1979, Robert Williams, an American factory worker at Ford's plant in Michigan, was killed by an industrial robot.
He is the first known human to be killed by a robot.
