“Sunday- it’s the Lord’s day…to have us tell you what happened on this day in history.”
~Editor-in-Chief Johnny Roosevelt
In the words of Outkast- Hey, Ya. You know the general deal. It’s Sunday. So we’re here to tell you what’s happened on this day in history.
So let’s just cut right to it.
1781- George Washington captures Yorktown in the Siege of Yorktown, no doubt using his laser vision and wooden teeth.
1875- Not Much of anything happens, until Brigham Young is founded to give students a place to not be cool. While we can’t say that this was when white bread was invented, we can say it was when people started putting mayonnaise on it.
1882- Nickle Plate Road opens for business, which was the New York, St. Louis, and Chicago railroad. This year was pretty boring.
1923- The Disney Company is founded by Walk Disney and Roy Disney. To be perfectly honest, Roy got fucked over in the whole thing.
2011- AFFotD skips a whole lot of history just to get today’s fun fact posted.
