    On this day - Feb 16

    Someone sent me this, I'm not going to find it interesting if I get it every day ;-(

    On this day in 1986, the USSR launched Mir. In 1982, Ozzy Osbourne was arrested for increasing ground water levels at The Alamo. In 1878, Thomas Edison patented the phonograph, and in 1600, Huaynaputina erupted in Peru. Happy Birthday Benecio Del Toro (1967), Prince Andrew, Duke of York (1960), Smokey Robinson (1940), and Nicolaus Copernicus (1473). RIP Johnny Paycheck (d.2003), Deng Xiaoping (d.1997), Bon Scott (d.1980), and Ernst Mach (d.1916).
