1796: English physician Edward Jenner, his eye ever on the ladies, notes that dairy maids aren't prone to smallpox-and invents "vaccination" by practicing on young eight year old James Phipps using cowpox matter.

2010 - the untimely passing of Ronnie James Dio after a short battle with cancer. Besides being one of rock's greatest voices and kindest souls in the business, his greatest claim to fame is popularizing the gesture we all know and love today! Still miss him a lot, hard to believe he's gone.

DIO
One of my favorites too!(Black Sabbath-post Ozzie) But can't give full credit for the gesture down Neal's way-that's already claimed!"Hook 'em horns!" Texas Longhorns style.

That's why I said "popularized" Definitely a well-known sign in Texas

And yes, Dio was also the man who proved that Sabbath without Ozzie was not only possible but awesome! Little wonder that they continued playing together as Heaven & Hell even after Ozzie returned, and indeed Dio's final concert appearance was with them.

Some bitter irony, I'm sure, in the fact that while Ozzie drank, smoked and drugged himself silly for decades and fought with everyone - yet he's still around and kicking unrepentantly; while Ronnie who was known for his clean, healthy lifestyle and modest, professional attitude is gone
