On this day.

[Apocalypse]

Adolf Hitler publishes his personal manifesto 'Mein Kampf' (1925)

U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy from Massachusetts drives an Oldsmobile off the Chappaquiddick Bridge (1969)

FDR nominated for a Third Term. (1940)

Rome burns, while Nero fiddles. (64)

And this isn't a dark day?

FDR was a very distant relation, so it wasn't all bad. It's not as ill-fortuned as the Ides of March.

You forgot that in 1984 some nut went into a McDonalds and shot the place up killing a lot of people.

That was the day I was born.
