Living in the Past

Do you ever wonder what happened on a particular date in history? Sometimes i like to google that particular topic to see what turns up, since it's a slow Sunday morning at work, and the only reason i'm here is for the extra cash, i thought it would be a fun way to pass some minutes. I also find it interesting as to what someone has decided is noteworthy enough to record as 'history'. Here are some that are possibly a bit dubious?
1998 Federal rules that the Secret Service must testify in the Lewinsky case
1996 Emmy 23rd Daytime Award presentation - Susan Lucci loses for 16th time

1986 Cher called David Letterman an asshole on Late Night on NBC

1980 Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue marry

1965 "Super-cali-fragil-istic-expi-ali-docious" hits #66


Some i did find interesting though...


1994 Toronto NBA franchise unveils name "Raptors" and logo

1990 Microsoft releases Windows 3.0
1990North and South Yemen merge to form Republic of Yemen
1973 President Nixon confesses his role in Watergate cover-up

1947 1st U.S. ballistic missile fired


Perhaps it's because of my birthday coming up that i'm a little nostalgic, but these kind of things interest me. BTW - even though it's already May 23 here, i did tailor this to May 22 for all you living in the past :p Where is everyone who reads this blog from anyway? A show in the comments section?
