Can you think of anything better to write about than the events of this day in history?
Me neither.
Wikipedia lists many things that happened on October 13th. Here are a few that I found interesting:
- Roman Emperor Claudius was poisoned to death under mysterious circumstances. His 17 year old stepson, Nero succeeded him to the throne. Hmm...mysterious indeed...
- This day does not exist in Italy, Portugal, Spain, or Poland in 1582 (awkward)
- Establishment of the U.S. Navy was ordered
- The cornerstone of the White House was laid
- The world was graced with Paddington Bear
- AT&T launched the first cellular network in the U.S.
- A plane crash in Bolivia killed 100 people, 97 of whom were on the ground
I'll go ahead and advise you to never fly on October 13th, as there seems to be a lot of plane crashes and hijacks on this day (though all in foreign countries).
See, now wasn't that interesting?
Yes, interesting indeed.
