So I got bored.

The horoscopes were awful.  Really awful.  MSN Astrocenter (or whatever it's called) should get a new day job.

New for the daily(-ish) updates will be...drumroll, please...ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY!!!!  More interesting, at least, gotta tell you.

So, right.  Let's get on with it.

On this day...

... in 1937, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien was first published. 
... in 1897, the New York Sun published the "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" letter. 
... in 1947, Stephen King was born.
... in 1866, H.G. Wells was born.
... in 1989, the Senate confirmed Bush the First's appointment of Colin Powell as chairman of the Joint Chief's of Staff.

For some reason, as I read all of these I was thinking, "Huh, I did not know that!"  Well, duh, Casey.  Sheesh.
