From the things fall apart department: Today is the 47th anniversary of official end of the Beatles when Sir Paul left the band for 'personal and professional' reasons.

Happy anniversary to anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti, who found out just how great our justice system is by being executed via electric chair on this date in 1927, convicted of a crime they likely didn't commit. Wait, that doesn't sound very happy.

Happy anniversary to London, whose citizens decided to inspire an XTC song and set fire to the city on this date in 1666. I assume the citizens were also burning with optimism's flames.

Happy anniversary to the Treaty of Paris, signed on this date in 1783, ending the Revolutionary War, also known as the War of Yankee Aggression. Suck it, Britain!

Happy anniversary to Christopher Columbus, who spotted manatees on this date in 1493 and thought that they were mermaids. What a cunt.

Happy anniversary to William Shakespeare, who may have been born on this date in 1564, and who died on this date in 1616. Nothing makes a birthday more memorable than dying on it.

Happy anniversary to Bonnie and Clyde, who shot to fame on this date in 1934. Sorry, they were famously shot on this date in 1934. The management wishes to apologize for the confusion.

Happy anniversary to Nicholas II, who was crowned czar of Russia on this date in 1896. My name is Nicholas--I wonder if that qualifies me to be czar? I'm pretty sure things worked out well for the last Nicholas.

Happy anniversary to Miranda rights, enshrined on this date in 1966 via a Supreme Court decision. Maybe soon there will be a decision that says you are free not to be shot by cops for no fucking reason.

Happy anniversary to the American flag, made the official flag of the United States on this date in 1777. I am proud to say that nothing untoward has ever occurred beneath the banner of the Stars and Stripes.

On this day in 1966 David Bowie and The Lower Third appeared at The Lion Hotel in Warrington, England, (they were paid £30 for the gig). Also appearing was The Powerhouse which featured Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Steve Winwood and Paul Jones.

Happy anniversary to Apollo 11, launched on this date in 1969. And for any science deniers reading this, please tell Buzz Aldrin that the moon landing was fake. I want to see him punch you in the face, asshole.

Did NASA fake the first landing in 1969 to win the Space Race? Nah governments wouldn't do that. Ask Trump.
