For the sheer length of name and title, it's hard to beat Sir Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck, Lord of Nyenhuis, Peckedam and Gellicum, who was born on this date in 1761. (His surname has 12 consonants and (only) 4 vowels!) He rose to official prominence under Napoleon's rule, becoming Grand Pensionary of the Batavian Republic from 1805 to 1806. My tie is super-long to make you "schmile" for Schimmelpenninck. Also note that today's math lesson is 10 = 31 - 21. (10/31/21)
