Today in History

1492 Columbus sets sail from Spain to the Indies. We all know how well that worked out.
1882 Congress passes 1st law restricting immigration. This worked out well too.
1914 Great Britain declares war on Germany.
1914 First seaworthy ship through the Panama Canal. Apparently there were non-seaworthy ships that had gone through.
1921 First areal crop dusting. I wonder how many deaths this contributed to.
1941 Gas sales limited in the U.S. *ghasp*
1943 General Patton slaps a U.S. soldier in the hospital accusing him of cowardice. Adding insult to injury.
1963 Beatles final performance at Cavern Club in Liverpool.
1966 South African government bans Beatle records. Haters gunna hate.
2000 The Republican party nominates George W. Bush to run for president. Oh noes.
Happy Birthday
