ON THIS DAY

ON THIS DAY

On this date in 1504, Christopher Columbus, stranded in Jamaica during his fourth voyage to the West, used a correctly predicted lunar eclipse to frighten hostile natives into providing food for his crew.
  • Yes, technically, he mooned them.
  • When they found later they had been tricked, the natives placed a curse on Columbus saying that one day, a city in Ohio would be named after him.

On this date in 1906, Ladies Home Journal reported that well-bred ladies do not wear perfume.

  • If I can put my two scents in here... they're Old Spice and Hai Karate.
  • I'll admit -- I like my ladies breaded.
