Display content according to date

[tbuss]

I've been searching for a way to display content dynamically on my website but I need it to not be randomized. I want to display history facts based on the date, kind of like a 'this day in history'. I've found some php and js scripts, but not quite what I'm looking for. I can create the db of facts for each day of the year, I just don't know how to call them into the website for display. I appreciate any help anyone could provide, thank you
