I only became aware of Bloomsday through Google where their graphic logo on their homepage on 'June 16th 2004' displays a caricature of his face in the second g with a book in front of it. Clicking on this link does a search on james+joyce+bloomsday [1]. However to find out more about this I decided to go to Wikipedia since it was in the news yesterday because China had apparently decided to remove access to it (Wikipedia that is - not James Joyce!) and the chinese version.

The funny thing is that it was on June 17th that I found out about this date since here in Australia we are 11 hours ahead of GMT and of course the US based google is a number of hours behind GMT...

[edit] quote from book

It might be wise to add a passage from the book saying that the day on which the novel takes place is June 16.

I'd do it myself but I've been looking for the one where the woman writes June 16, 1904 on a blackboard for months and can't find it.
