Nothing fun ever happens on my birthday.
I'm gonna have a beer during the Steelers game.
TODAY IN ROTTEN HISTORY
We live in a slightly mad world...
1905 - Thousands of demonstrating Russian workers were fired on by Imperial army troops in St. Petersburg on what became known as "Red Sunday" or "Bloody Sunday". 96 people were killed, and over 300 were wounded. This incident marks the beginning of the so-called 1905 revolution.
1918 - Manitoba, Canada film censor board decides to ban comedies, on the grounds that they make audiences "too frivolous".
1949 - Red Communists enter Peking.
1951 - Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's baseball career is ended after he is thrown out of a winter league game, during the tryouts for the Washington Senators.
1957 - Mad Bomber captured.
1972 - In an interview with Melody Maker, musician David Bowie announces that he is gay. Actually he is bisexual, and his wife Angela did catch him in bed with Mick Jagger.
1973 - 176 people are killed in Kano, Nigeria when a Nigerian Airlines flight crashes on its way back from Mecca.
1987 - The State Treasurer of Pennsylvania, R. Budd Dwyer, proclaims his innocence to fraud charges at a crowded press conference (link is not what you think) and then pulls a gun out of an envelope and blows his brains out.
