Curious/strange calendar entry

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

Got this entry today:

        08/14   First Unix-based mallet created, 1954


This is presumed to be some sort of unix "inside joke" but so far
no-one hasyet been able to explain it.  And despite some diligent
searching through archives, no-one has been able to determine its
origin.

Maybe some of you old-timer out there have a clue?

:)
