ON THIS DAY
It was on this date, back in 1517, that Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg Palace Church and the Reformation was born.
It was not only the beginning of the Reformation but day one of the no-nailing-things-on-the-church-door policy.
The church tried to settle out of court and move a few priests around, but no...
Since this began the reformation and resulted in the Lutheran church, I'm going to assume that 'theses" is Latin for "Casserole recipes."
It was a much more mature gesture than his first -- the 95 feces.
On this date in 1864, Nevada became our 36th U.S. state. What were the odds? I'm sure they knew. It was a gamble, but with Nevada, isn't it always?
In 1952, the U.S. set off the first hydrogen bomb in the Marshall Islands. At first, they denied it and blamed the dog.
On this date in 1956, streetcar services ended in Brooklyn. Up until that time, Rice-Aroni was the "Fugget About It Treat."
Also on this date in 1956, an American landed a plane at the South Pole for the very first time, in one of the worst time-share swaps in recorded history.
In 1959, former U.S. Marine Lee Harvey Oswald announced in Moscow that he would never return to the United States. If only he had kept his word.
On this date in 1982, Pope John Paul the second became the first pope to visit Spain. It rained while he was there, but the rain fell mainly on the plain.
