The Birthday Threads are a fun read, and they should be accurate as well. Shambles, you had a great idea. Why not work with our resident pedant Wolfie to insure the dates are correct. Can't we...can't we all just get along?
And barring that, I think trial by combat is appropriate. Sackbuts and bombardes at twenty paces?
