Today In Twisted History

JANUARY 18


Happy Birthday, Alison Arngrim - who's much sexier now than when she was Nasty Nellie Oleson.


1788: English land in Australia to establish penal colony.


1943: As part of war effort, pre-sliced bread is banned in U.S. (so bakeries won't require replacement parts for metal cutting machines).


1974: Second-worst 'Brady Bunch' episode (about the UFO in the backyard) airs. (All-time worst? Cousin Oliver & the movie-studio tour.)


1991: U.S. goes into second full day of bombing Iraq, & Iraq keeps lobbing scud missiles into Tel Aviv.


1993: All 50 United States finally observe Martin Luther King, Jr., Day for the first time.

Marx repaid Engels for his loans. On January 18.

3. Hey!

If it weren't for that little boat ride from England, you wouldn't be able to boast about all those roos and tazzies and wombats and whatnot hopping through your backyard every five minutes.

:D
