A python implementation of xkcd # 1930
Dear gods of geekdom, I know this is fugly and could be made much more compact/less lines, but it is my first "totally from scratch" python script where my goal was all about learning lists, appending said lists, the random module and other fun things.
calendar-facts-datatree.py is my stab at learning data tree structure (Decision Tree).
All it does at the moment is print out the trees. Making the random calendar facts -- I'm still working on that.
