the most important part of #Unicode history is when a mouse fell out of a light fixture and got added to the count of members present at a Technical Committee meeting (9 Nov 2016) www.unicode.org/L2/L2016/16325.htm#…
Screenshot of meeting notes for UTC Meeting 149. Text reads:

Mouse now present. 6.502 members represented.

[149-A94] Action Item for Landlord: Capture and exile the mouse that just fell out of the light fixture.

Handwritten cursive, the same message twice, first in mature adult handwriting and then again in slightly wobbly childish writing: 

I maxed out my right-handed writing stat, so I prestiged as a left-handed fountain pen user.
