From my dad:

Carnegie Mellon University professor Scott E. Fahlman first used the emoticon to indicate humor in a message to an online electronic bulletin board at 11:44 a.m. on Sept. 19, 1982, during a discussion about how to indicate comments meant to be taken lightly. \"I propose the following character sequence for joke markers: :-) ,\" wrote Fahlman. \"Read it sideways.\"

Last year for the 25th anniversary, Professor Fahlman said there was a restaurant near him that made round cookies with smiley faces on them, and that \"for a few dollars extra\", they would make him some with the faces turned sideways ;)

Some have found unintentional emoticons much earlier: in the King James Version (released in 1611) of the Bible, Genesis 49:24 has a (no-nose) happy face, and Genesis 14:8 has a (no-nose) winking emoticon.

Of course, September 19 is also International Talk Like A Pirate Day, so I guess today should be International Turn-Your-Head-Sideways and Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Sept. 19th 1846, two shepherd children - Maximin Giraud and Mélanie Calvat - reported a vision of the Virgin Mary on a mountaintop near La Salette, France, on September 19, 1846 around 3.00 p.m. during their cowherding. They were eleven and fourteen years old at the time and had received only a very limited education.

I guess today should be International Turn-Your-Head-Sideways,Talk Like A Pirate and see apparitions Day.
