17 September 08
Two events of significance for 17 September: (1) Bernhard Riemann, who created the first rigorous definition of the integral of a function on an interval (in calculus), was born on this date in 1826; and (2) Joshua Abraham Norton declared himself Emperor of the United States on this date in 1859. There can be no doubt who wins the honor of being represented on my tie. You can read all about His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I at Wikipedia.

This was probably the funniest thing I found to go with the Norton tie. That is amazing.
