I guess I should do this since it was my birthday yesterday.

EVENTS

1949 - Firesign Theater debuts on television.
1955 - Winston Churchill resigns as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom amid indications of failing health. (This coincides with one I know from other sources: the first issue of TV Guide was published on this date. Why did I take a weird kind of pride in that.)
2006 - Apple Computer officially anounced the support of Windows XP for the Intel Mac with a program code-named "Boot Camp". (It's not really support, but hey)

BIRTHS

1900 - Spencer Tracy, American actor (d. 1967)
1926 - Roger Corman, American film director, producer, and writer

DEATHS

1994 - Kurt Cobain, American musician (b. 1967) (whoa! Didn't know that)
