Happy anniversary to Joseph Crater, the New York judge who famously disappeared on this date in 1930, never to be seen again. " Pulling a Crater" became a slang term for vanishing, akin to going AWOL. Unconfirmed reports suggest that "pulling a crater" is now used in some circles as a slang term for anal intercourse, or akin to going AHOL.

Happy anniversary to Meriwether Lewis, who, on this date in 1806, was hit in the ass by a bullet fired by one of his own men. While widely believed to be a hunting accident, unofficial reports indicate that the soldier who fired upon Lewis was trying to prove that he was a crack shot.

Happy anniversary to Cleopatra, who died by suicide on this date in 30 B.C.E. I guess she regretted not pairing up with Mark Andy.

Happy anniversary to John White, the governor of the Roanoke Colony, who returned from a trip to England on this date in 1590 to find the colony deserted. Rumor has it that everyone left Roanoke to go to Facebook.

Happy 117th Anniversary to the first national monument in the USA, Devils Tower. Probably best know outside the States as the landing place of the alien ship in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
