On This Day

The following this happened throughout the course of history:

  • 1877 - Thomas Edison demonstrates his phonograph for the first time.
  •  

    1922 - Howard Carter opens the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun to the public.

    1934 - The Chicago Bears defeat the Detroit Lions 19-16 in the first nationally broadcasted game.

    1963 - U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson establishes the Warren Commission to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

    1990 - Gulf War: The United Nations Security Council passes United Nations Security Council Resolution 678, authorizing "use all necessary means to uphold and implement" United Nations Security Council Resolution 660 "to restore international peace and security" if Iraq did not withdraw its forces from Kuwait and free all foreign hostages by January 15, 1991.

     

    As well as the following people were born:

    1898 - C. S. Lewis, Irish writer (d. 1963)

    1958 - Michael Dempsey, English musician (The Cure)

    1961 - Tom Sizemore, American actor

    1982 - Krystal Steal, American pornographic actress

     

    All of these people are important enough to have wikipedia pages.

     

    These people are the future (or where the future at some past point). 

     

    This man is no Krystal Steal, but soon he can achieve that dream. They were born on the same day though, that's a start.
