July 21st

On July 21st in 1718 Blackbeard the Pirate was shot five times, stabbed 20 times, and decapitated. Well, it just ruined his whole day.

On July 21st in 1861 the Union Army was routed at the Battle of Bull Run. How about that? I always thought Bull Run was the place where congressmen jog.

Comic Robin Williams was born in Chicago on July 21st in 1952. If you want to wish Robin a happy birthday, give him a call. His number is 555-NahNoo-NahNoo.

Shallow Thoughts

In weather this hot, wouldn't it be nice if you could shed your skin, like snakes and lawyers do?
