The Constitution of the Empire of Japan of 1889, more commonly known as the Imperial or Meiji Constitution, was the first modern constitution of Japan.

 |  |  | 1952 - May: Encyclopedia II - Douglas Adams - Dirk GentlyIn between Adams's first trip to Madagascar with Mark Carwardine in 1985, and their series of travels that formed the basis for the radio series and non-fiction book Last Chance to See, Adams wrote two other novels with a new cast of characters. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency was first published in 1987, and was described by its author as "a kind of ghost-horror-detective-time-travel-romantic-comedy-epic, mainly concerned with mud, music and quantum mechanics."

Voice Phenomena
Juergenson
was a film producer in Sweden who, in 1959 while making a documentary, had
decided to tape bird songs. As he began recording, little did he realize that
what was to follow would change the course of not only his earthly life but of
that he would lead in the world beyond after his death. When he played the tape
back he was startled to hear, in among the tweeting and chirping, his mother's
voice say in German, "Friedrich, you are being watched. Friedel, my little
Friedel, can you hear me?"

 |  |  | 1952 - May: Encyclopedia II - Albert Einstein - PersonalityAlbert Einstein was much respected for his kind and friendly demeanor rooted in his pacifism. He was modest about his abilities, and had distinctive attitudes and fashions—for example, he minimized his wardrobe so that he would not need to waste time in deciding on what to wear. He occasionally had a playful sense of humor, and enjoyed sailing and playing the violin.
