- 1878 California Senator A.A. Sargent introduces the Susan B. Anthony (women's suffrage) Amendment to Congress. The amendment won't be signed into law for another 42 years. Can you imagine not "getting any" for 42 years ?
- 1911 Major Jimmie Erickson took the first photograph from an airplane while flying over San Diego, CA. Evidently there was some chick laying out.
- 1946 The first meeting of the United Nations General Assembly took place with 51 nations represented. They immediately passed resolutions blaming the United States for everything.
- 2000 It was announced that AOL and Time Warner were merging. It was the largest media deal in U.S. history priced at $111 billion. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) approved the deal on December 14, 2000. AOL customers are still considered the idiots of the InterNet.
- 2003 North Korea announced that it was withdrawing from the global nuclear arms control treaty and that it had no plans to develop nuclear weapons. What ? Communists lie ? When did that start ?
