Cool ! Time to celebrate :-)

One possible way of celebration is actually reading the article "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". Tell I-know-who that this would make a great ritual :-) The article is really cool, very well and clearly written, should be a mandatory reading for all science students...
