If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

October 10, 1973 - Spiro T. Agnew resigned from Vice Presidency of the US of A

Agnew got caught taking kickbacks from contractors during his time as Baltimore county executive and governor of Maryland. And, to make matters worse, the payments had continued into his time as vice president of the US of A.

My, my how times have changed. If a high-ranking elected Republicultâ„¢ official were caught doing that today, the Supreme Court would bend over backwards to try to legally define the kickbacks as 'gratuities,' and the Republicultâ„¢ would nominate that official for even higher office.

October 11, 1973 - The Pascagoula Alien Abduction

The Pascagoula Abduction was an alleged UFO sighting and alleged alien abduction in which two guys claimed they were abducted and examined before being released by aliens, when the guys were fishing near Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Now, I suspect Pascagoula was a pretty boring place back in the day. And, I suspect it hasn't gotten much more exciting over the years. But, this particular alleged alien abduction did allegedly involve two guys, so ... Anyway, someone, or some group, actually funded and commemorated this alleged alien abduction with an actual plaque placed on the alleged, actual site of the alleged alien abduction.

October 13, 1307 - The Knights Templar Were Arrested

At dawn on Friday, 13 October 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered their leader, and many others of the French Knights Templar, to be simultaneously arrested. The arrest warrants started with the words: "Dieu n'est pas content, nous avons des ennemis de la foi dans le Royaume" ("God is not pleased. We have enemies of the faith in the kingdom").

This is the origin of the Friday the 13th superstition.
