Wonderful Wolrd

Don't know much about history?



Here's your Saturday lesson!



1828 Casparus van Wooden patents chocolate milk powder (Amsterdam)

He is harassed by a crazed rabbit for the rest of his life.



1841 President William Henry Harrison died from pneumonia, one month after his inauguration.

And Glenn Beck's great grandfather breaks down weeping...setting a precedent for generations to come.



1850 City of Los Angeles incorporated

And immediately filed for bankruptcy.



1870 Golden Gate Park established by City Order #800

Thus giving the homeless and drug addled in 1870 a place to call home.



1955 British government signs military treaty with Iraq

An infant Rush Limbaugh calls them cowards...and Glenn Beck's father cries.



1964 "Anyone Can Whistle" opens at Majestic Theater NYC for 9 performances

Sadly it closed after repeated picketing by the "We Can't Whistle" Association.



1966 US performs nuclear test at Nevada Test Site

And an 80 year old woman in Las Vegas thinks she's hit the jackpot.



1975 Steve Miller is arrested for burning his girlfriend's clothes

The only thing he didn't burn was the bra.
