Fun History

History's oldest cat died on November 29 in 1939. His name was Puss and he was 36 years old. He attributed his long life to not smoking, not drinking, and not cattin' around.

On November 29 in 1929 Commander Richard E. Byrd flew over the South Pole. It was a family tradition. The Byrds always flew south for the winter.

Six months before he flew over the South Pole, Commander Byrd had flown over the North Pole. Byrd was so good at this type of thing, it's a shame there weren't more poles.
- Reportedly, Byrd spent years searching for the West Pole and the East Pole, but he never found them.
