Sad anniversary to Secretariat, euthanized on this date in 1989, but inspiring this.

Happy anniversary to the Reno brothers, who pulled off the first train robbery in American history on this date in 1866. The Reno gang was killed by a lynch mob two years later. Personally, I think they got railroaded.

45 years of working and still working. What a racket. One step forward, two steps back. No wonder Jesus said life is to be endured. ✝️

Happy anniversary to King Louis XVI, sent to the guillotine on this date in 1793. He had his crown removed, and then he had his crown removed.

Guillotined some sense into him, hopefully.

Perhaps, although contemporary accounts suggest he would have lost his head had it not been attached.

The Frisbee was introduced by Wham-O on this date in 1957. Discuss.

On this day in 1789, the 1st US electoral college chose George Washington as President and John Adams as Vice President. The election process has been messed up since the beginning.

It was 17 years ago (yesterday) that Prince performed at the Super Bowl halftime show. I don't remember when or why the halftime show got to be such a thing but I'm sure glad Prince was there to show everybody how it's done. Oops. Don't mess with the NFL. The link works just fine though...

Apparently it is every time that Vince McMahon feels horniness combined with the urge to take a shit.
