On this day in 1720

John 'Calico Jack' Rackham protects the rum while Anne and Mary fight




  Crossed swords and a grinning skull distinguish Calico Jack Rackham's flag, and that's just what pirate hunters find while prowling Jamaican waters. When they attack Pirate Jack's ship, his female crew, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, return the fight while the men, drunk on rum, wait it out in the hold.

  Rackham and his pirates were swiftly tried and found guilty. Most of them were hanged. Bonny and Read were also sentenced to hang, but both of them declared they were pregnant. A judge ordered their claim checked out and it was found to be true, a fact which automatically commuted their death sentence. Read died in prison shortly thereafter, but Bonny survived. No one knows for sure what became of her and her child. Some say she reconciled with her rich father, some say she remarried and lived in Port Royal or Nassau.

  In a famous quote Bonny told Rackham in prison:

  "I'm sorry to see you here, but if you had fought like a man, you need not have hanged like a dog."

After her role as First Lady came to an end, Jackie Kennedy went into the publishing business. She became an associate editor at Doubleday and worked mostly on autobiographies. In fact, she was one of two original editors for Michael Jackson's 2009 autobiography Moonwalk, a #1 New York Times bestseller.

Did you know that Franklin Roosevelt okayed a plan to bomb the Imperial Japanese Army with bombs attached to bats?

The Marine Corps took over the program and conducted tests beginning in December 1943. After 30 demonstrations and $2 million spent, the project was cancelled. Most people believe it's because the U.S. realized that all resources should be concentrated on the development of a far more powerful weapon: the atomic bomb.



Her kisses left something to be desired ... mmm ... the rest of her.

Did you know ? 

On this day in 1938 Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater Players scared the living S*** out of everyone with his War of the Worlds radio broadcast.




Probably not scary now but have a listen if you want to.  (Just under an hour).

It really is rather good.

Did you know?

Hoover dam continues curing even after 76 years

Concrete in the core portion of the gigantic Hoover dam in Nevada, USA is still continuing to cure according to engineers. That is in spite of the fact that the dam was built way back in 1935 and a huge network of 1 inch dia. pipes totalling to a length of almost a thousand kilometers was buried inside the concrete to circulate cold water in order to suck the enormous heat of hydration generated by the huge quantity of poured concrete.

So that was not good enough to stop it from curing even today and in fact, this is expected to continue for some more years.
