The title text references "the {{w|St. Stephen's Day|Feast of Stephen}}", also known as the "Feast of St. Stephen" or "St. Stephen's Day", which is a holiday celebrated on 26 or 27 December by the {{w|Latin Church|Western}} or {{w|Eastern Christianity|Eastern Church}} respectively. (For the {{w|Eastern Orthodox Church}}, which still observes the {{w|Julian calendar}}, it falls on 9 January of the {{w|Gregorian calendar}}.) It is not actually a feast that involved eating a person named Stephen.{{Citation needed}} | The title text references "the {{w|St. Stephen's Day|Feast of Stephen}}", also known as the "Feast of St. Stephen" or "St. Stephen's Day", which is a holiday celebrated on 26 or 27 December by the {{w|Latin Church|Western}} or {{w|Eastern Christianity|Eastern Church}} respectively.

+ | Unusually for Randall, he appears to have made a significant mathematical error in the title text. Wenceslas ruled Bohemia from 921 to 935, so approximately 1100 years ago. This corresponds to, at most, only 44 25-year generations available to have cursed his name, not a thousand. | ||
