1992 The "Long Island Lolita" is arrested

Amy Fisher, the so-called "Long Island Lolita," is arrested for shooting Mary Jo Buttafuoco on the front porch of her Massapequa, New York, home. Fisher, only 17 at the time of the shooting, was having an affair with 38-year-old Joey Buttafuoco, Mary Jo's husband. The tawdry story soon became a tabloid and talk-show fixture, the source of three television movies, and countless jokes.

Mary Jo Buttafuoco survived the attack but was left with a bullet lodged in her head and a partially paralyzed face. Fisher, who pled guilty to the shooting, was convicted of assault and received a sentence of 5 to 15 years the following year. Mary Jo called her a "prostitute," yet seemed to think her husband was blameless in the affair. The courts, however, were less forgiving; Joey was convicted of statutory rape and received a six-month jail sentence in 1993.

While in prison, Fisher claimed that she had been raped by guards and filed a $220 million lawsuit. But the judge who received the complaint said that it read like a "cheap dime-store novel." Fisher also claimed that her defense attorney, with whom she was having an affair at the time, coerced her into pleading guilty. This line of appeal was not very successful but Mary Jo Buttafuoco, apparently having a change of heart, eventually got Fisher out of prison.

After taking anger-management courses in jail, Fisher wrote to apologize to Mary Jo, who later appeared at her parole hearing and forgave her. Fisher was released on parole in May 1999, after serving six years. The Buttafuocos moved to California where Joey attempted to become a movie star and talk-show host.

1873 Levi Strauss patents copper-riveted jeans

Acting at the behest of a Reno, Nevada, tailor who had invented the idea, Levi Strauss secures the necessary patents for canvas pants with copper rivets to reinforce the stress points.

Born in Buttenheim, Bavaria, in 1829, the young Levi Strauss emigrated to the United States in 1847. Strauss initially went into business selling dry goods along the East Coast, but in 1852, his brother-in-law encouraged him to relocate to the booming city of San Francisco. He arrived in San Francisco in 1853 with a load of merchandise that he hoped to sell in the California mining camps. Unable to sell a large supply of canvas, Strauss hit on the idea of using the durable material to make work pants for miners. Strauss' canvas pants were an immediate success among hardworking miners who had long complained that conventional pants wore out too quickly.

In 1872, Strauss received a letter from Jacob Davis, a customer and tailor who worked in the mining town of Reno, Nevada. Davis reported that he had discovered canvas pants could be improved if the pocket seams and other weak points that tended to tear were strengthened by copper rivets. Davis' riveted pants had proven popular in Reno, but he needed a patent to protect his invention. Intrigued by the copper-riveted pants, Strauss and his partners agreed to undertake the necessary legal work for the patent and begin large-scale production of the pants. Davis' invention was patented on this day in 1873. In exchange for his idea, Strauss made the Reno tailor his production manager. Eventually, Strauss switched from using canvas to heavyweight blue denim, and the modern "blue jeans" were born.

Since then, Levi Strauss & Company has sold more than 200 million pairs of copper-riveted jeans. By the turn of the century, people outside of the mining and ranching communities had discovered that "Levi's" were both comfortable and durable. Eventually, the jeans lost most of their association with the West and came to be simply a standard element of the casual American wardrobe.

"And it came to pass that Saint Victor was taken from this place
to another place. Where he was lain to rest himself amongst sheets
of muslin and velvet.
"And there stroked was he by maidens of the Orient.
"For sixteen days and nights stroked they him, yea verily and
caressed him.
"His hair, ruffled they. And their fingers rubbethed they in oil
of olives, and ranneth them across all parts of his body for as much
as to soothe him.
"And the soles of his feet licked they. And the upper parts of
his thigh did they anoint with the balm of forbidden trees.
"And with the teeth of their mouths, nibbled they the pointed
bits at the top of his ears. Yea verily, and did their tongues
thereof make themselves acquainted with his most secret places.
"For fifteen days and nights did Victor withstand these maidens,
until he cried out, saying:
"'This...is fantastic! Oh...this is *terrific!!*'
"And the Lord did here the cry of Victor. And verily came He down
and slew the maidens. And caused their cottonwool bugs to blow away,
and their Kleenex to be laid waste utterly.
"And Victor, in his anguish, cried out that the Lord was a rotten
bastard.
"So the Lord sent an angel to comfort Victor for the weekend.
"And entered they together the jaccuzzi."

Here endeth the lesson.

Speaking of Monopoly, Hasbro last year re-released an edition based on the 1935 deluxe edition of the game, the year they took over manufacture (well, Parker Brothers did, and they were bought by Hasbro in the 1980s).

A lot of the board looks the same, except the blue community chest icon is missing, it was created later, and there are NO prices on the individual properties!
The cards are based on the original as well, and some are quite different.
Also, the income tax space on this reprinting is 10% or $300, rather than the later 10% or $200.

That's okay, there's usually not enough alcohol around anywhere to get me to dance, either. ;)

After consolidating power in Germany in the 1930s, Hitler wanted to cancel the games scheduled for Berlin in 1936, until he was convinced they could be turned into a major propaganda tool.

Games were to have been held in Tokyo in 1940 and London in 1944, but were cancelled due to the war. London had its games in 1948, and Tokyo much later.

It was based on a game published in France under the title La Conquête du Monde, invented by ALbert Lamorisse.

Actually, according to the Monopoly Companion, they are the 2nd most frequently landed on. But the highest in terms of payoff. On average, you can regain 23.5% of investment in the oranges each time an opponent completes a trip around the board.

Again, according to the Monopoly Companion, the RAILROADS are the most frequently landed on group. Each trip around the board, a person has a 64% chance of landing on a railroad.

More Monopoly stats:

Of the color groups, the dark purples have the lowest investment cost (property, houses and hotels) at $620.
The Greens are the most expensive, at $3920.

Oranges have the highest payoff, and the utilities the lowest.

Dark blues have the highest potential pay off (duh) and the utilities the least.

Railroads are the most frequent spaces of any group to land on (oranges are the most frequent color group), and dark purples are the least frequent.

Monopoly-themed games have included "Advance to Boardwalk", Free Parking, Don't Go to Jail, and the Monopoly card game. (I think only the last one is still in print, but Free Parking might be if you look around at game stores).

Current Monopoly editions from Hasbro include the Disney edition, the America Special Edition, Pokemon Gold and Silver, the standard edition and the Deluxe edition.

USAopoly and Winning Moves are two of the official licencees of Monopoly, and have made boards such as the Coca-Cola Edition, the Peanuts edition, the Garfield 25th Anniversary edition, the Corvette edition, the Ford Mustang edition, the Ford centennial edition, boards for Chicago, Las Vegas, New England, New York City, San Diego and Utah.

The original board is based on Atlantic City, although Marven Gardens is misspelled, the B&O never serviced Atlantic City, and the Short Line was a bus company.

The board game Clue only goes by that name in North America. It was invented in England in 1944 and introduced to the US by Parker Brothers in 1949. In most of the rest of the world it's known as Cluedo (ludo is latin for "I Play").
In Brazil it's known as "Detetive."

I am not an aircraft enthusiast, but I question what year the B-52 came into production. Didn’t think we had it during WWII. Not even sure we had it in Korea>

After consolidating power in Germany in the 1930s, Hitler wanted to cancel the games scheduled for Berlin in 1936, until he was convinced they could be turned into a major propaganda tool.
And wasn’t that the year a Cleveland kid (Jesse Owens) first made Hitler twitch?:D

Actual amount of semen per ejaculation: 1-2 teaspoons
Average number of times a man will ejaculate in his
lifetime: 7,200
That’s less than once every 3 days for a man of 70 that started at 12.
I should have been dead at 21 years and 9 months.:eek:




What kind of facts are we getting?:confused:
