Today In Twisted History

[Sapphocrat]

And, I just realized, exactly one day from today, a Democrat will be sworn in as the next President of the United States! (How's that for optimism?)


JANUARY 20


1797: Maryland OK's first state mental hospital in U.S., on land that will one day be part of Johns Hopkins U.


1842: Bob and Jack, Aboriginals convicted of murdering a couple of whalers, become first two men executed (by hanging) in Australia's infamous Melbourne Gaol.


1843: First murder acquittal by reason of insanity in Britain sets world legal precedent.


1983: Ship's crew spots domed UFO off west coast of Christmas Island.


1988: While traversing Australia's vast Nullabor Plain, motorist & her three sons are chased by UFO, which lifts car into air, then returns it to ground, leaving it covered in what appears to be ash.

4. From your mouth...

...to God's / Goddess's / Cosmic Consciousness' collective ear!

Now, kick that little Johnny #*@%face out of Canberra, will you? It will make it ever so much easier on the rest of the world (and "Prime Minister Latham" will roll off my tongue much more easily!).
