Important day in history - October 8
EVENTS:
1582 - Due to the implementation of the Gregorian calendar this day does not exist in this year in Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain.
1871 - Four major fires break out on the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois, Peshtigo, Wisconsin, Holland, Michigan, and Manistee, Michigan. The Great Chicago Fire is the most famous of these, having left nearly 100,000 people homeless, although the Peshtigo Fire killed as many as 2,500 people making it the deadliest fire in United States history.
1956 - New York Yankees baseball pitcher Don Larsen pitches first (and only) perfect game in World Series history in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series.
1969 – Kim Wetzl born as Kimberly Renee Harberson (the second one of two). She stole all her sister's Vitamin B, which caused her sister to have Spine Abifida, very mild case, but Spine Abifida nonetheless. She has been forgiven
BIRTHS:
1949 - Sigourney Weaver, American actress
1948 - Johnny Ramone, American guitarist (The Ramones) (d. 2004)
1965 - C-Jay Ramone, American bassist (The Ramones)
1969 - Kim Wetzl (born Kimberly Renee Harberson), American guitarist (Asphalt 23)
1969 - Julia Ann, American porn actress. I had to throw this one in. Same birthday EXACTLY. Scary how I could have ended up, huh? I think I must have prevailed due to my abundance of Vitamin B.
DEATHS:
1869 - Franklin Pierce, 14th President of the United States (b. 1804)
1894 - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., American physician and writer (b. 1809)
1809 - James Elphinston, Scottish philologist (b. 1721) What's a "philologist?
I bet my Sigourney beats Jude and Keifer hands down. I don't see either one of them battling giant disgusting Aliens single handedly. AND SURVIVING TO TELL THE TALE!
