ON THIS DAY
On this date in 1577, Sir Francis Drake set sail to circumnavigate the world, even though some were opposed to circumnavigation. It ended up being a 3-year cruise around the entire world. Needless to say, none of the crew ever went on a cruise again.
In 1642, New Zealand was discovered by Dutch navigator Abel Tasma.
You know, you never hear about what happened to Old Zealand.
Of course, he had to share the credit, because, well, they had gone Dutch.
On this date in 1915, things were so dry in San Diego that the city hired a rain-maker.
I don't think I'd ever want to be a rain-maker. You'd always have to work weekends.
He was a real "can dew" guy. He just kept washing cars and planning picnics until it finally started pouring.
He built a replica of Seattle's Space Needle and the heavens opened...
I believe he was the guy who figured out that washing your car makes it rain.
In 1918, Woodrow Wilson arrived in France, becoming the first U.S. president to visit Europe while in office. Of course, the tricky part was getting his whole office there.
On this day in this date in 1978, the Susan B. Anthony Silver Dollar was issued... as a way to punish Susan.
