Strange Days

I came across a diary for this year, with some strange (and not so strange!!) event "anniversaries"!

Todays is.....

Samuel Colt, inventor of the Colt revolver, born today in 1814.


I'm planning on adding a new "fact" every day, but feel free to join in!

(Note to Mods.....wasn't sure where to put this... feel free to shift it to Games, or wherever.... I'll find it!! )

LOL@ DB!! (Love the latest Av, DB; What kinda amphibian IS that, anyway... not seen a Frog in socks before!! )

Todays snippet:

This day in 1995 a man suffering from RABIES, in Suzhou, China, bit FOUR people in totally random attacks!

(It 's not known if these four people also became infected!)


Seems to suggest, be grateful for where you live!

..1991

Comedian and actor Paul Reubens, aka Pee-wee Herman, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure outside of an adult movie theater in Sarosota, Florida. Reubens apparently was masturbating while watching a porno flick in the theater. Following the arrest, toy stores across the nation removed all Pee-wee toys, and his kiddie-show career was destroyed.
