Default This date in history

Post any interesting event that happens on or near today's date. Since we're all the end-users of the historic events that get us to the moment of posting in this forum, try to point out how such an event may have personally affected, afflicted, or otherwise influenced your existence on the spinning mudball...humor is emphasized??!

Hide under the duvet until it's all over. Still, only 1hr 12mins to go...

Wait, what was that apocalyptic klonk above your head, it's not the roof falling in is it?

No, you're ok, it was just a fat sea gull landing on the loose chimney stack.

I never trusted him because he always had that shifty Mister Greenjeans hanging around. Not to mention his snobiness with the mentally handicapped Mister Moose and the mute Bunny Rabbit too. He seemed to have complete dis -R E S P E C T for his elders by always waking Grandfather Clock. I hear BR got a new gig whispering sweet nothings into the ear of Nelson Mandela's statue. Which was heard muttering... "Could somebody get this little pecker out of my ear?"

And the cartoons just plain sucked, when the captain wasn't clowning around with the rest of the retards that is.

That's a symptom, not an excuse.

Laugh if you thought it was hilarious. Say that out loud, and slow.
