This day in history

On this date in history:

585 B.C. - the Battle of Halys ends abruptly due to a total solar eclipse. This is the earliest historical event whose date is known precisely

1588 - The Spanish Armada sets sail for the English Channel

1754 - George Washington leads the Virginia militia to victory over the French in the first battle of the French and Indian War

1830 - President Andrew Jackson signs the Indian Removal Act

1937 - The Golden Gate Bridge opens

1944 - Rudy Giuliani is born

1995 - The New York Yankees Baseball Club calls up shortstop Derek Jeter from the Columbus Clippers. He will make his debut the following night in Seattle.

 

;D

 

RIP Moddy's Eye.

I loved it in The Client.

 

1995 - Manky Jimy buys and, in one monumental swallow, consumes his first vial of Jetes Jizz

 

2012 - Manky gets banned from SJ. /wishful thinking.

 

I don't always consume athlete jizz, but when I do...

 

deep down I knew there had to be some sort of historical connection between Derek Jeter and the Battle of Halys

 

And I bet Jeter did something big on the date that the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

 

He did, in fact. December 7, 2010 was the date he signed his current three year contract with the Yankees.

 

Screw Jeter. 1995, eh? Well, it's about darn time the SOB hung it up. It's 2012.
