Update:
(11 down, maybe 89 more to go...)

Added Linus Torvalds and a rough list of various Unix-like flavors, and simplified the PHP plugin:

Code:
<?php
$rand = mt_rand(0, 10);

$flavs = array(
    'unix_linux_history',
    'linux_unix_history',
    'red_hat_history', 
    'ubuntu_history', 
    'gnu_history', 
    'man_page_history',
    'ken_thompson_history', 
    'dennis_ritchie_history', 
    'linus_torvalds_history', 
    'unix_flavors_history',
    'brian_kernighan_history');

$flav = $flavs["$rand"];
eval('$history_div_for_users = "' . fetch_template($flav) . '";');

Note:

You can easily see these "historical sections" on any tags search result at the bottom of the page; for example linux:

Code:
https://www.unix.com/tags/linux.html

Just reload the page to view the various random "historical" entries.
