Happy anniversary to he United States conducting the first airborne test of an improved hydrogen bomb, dropping it from a plane over the tiny island of Namu in the Bikini Atoll on this date in 1956. Ironically, the island remained in one piece.

Happy anniversary to Hernando de Soto, whose dead body was dumped in the Mississippi River in Louisiana on this date in 1542. So, every time longinglook has a drink of H 2O, she is enjoying the remnants of this slave-driving conquistador's waterlogged corpse.

Copernicus insisted that I wish a happy anniversary to his death on this date in 1543. Sheesh-you would think the universe revolved around him, or something.

Happy anniversary to mafia boss John Gotti, sentenced to life in prison on this date in 1992. And since Gotti doesn't need the nickname anymore, I nominate Donavan as the new Teflon Don.

Happy anniversary to one of the unlikeliest soccer results ever, with a bunch of amateur American players notching a World Cup victory against the heavily favored Brits on this date in 1950. Take that, country that actually gives a shit about the sport.

Happy anniversary to Wimbledon, with the first tournament begun on this date in 1877. The nice thing about tennis is, even if you score no points, you still have love.
