Trivia Tuesdays: This Week in History & Fun with Google


This is a busy week in history!

*10/26/1881: The Earp brothers and Doc Holliday fought the Clantons, et al. at the O.K. Corral.

*10/28/1965: The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri was completed (I honestly had no idea it was this young!).

*10/30/1938: The War of the Worlds is aired and radio listeners in America panic at the news of an alien invasion!

*11/01/1512: Michelangelo unveiled his paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

And just for fun, here's one of my favorite Google things that I've come across in recent years:

1) Go to www.google.com
2) Type in "French Military Victories" (without quotes)
3) And hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button

Hehehe!
