Planet Neptune Is Discovered (1846)
Neptune is notable for being the first planet to be discovered by way of mathematical prediction rather than standard observation. Galileo observed Neptune twice in the early 1600s, but he mistook the planet for a fixed star and is therefore not credited with its discovery. Centuries later, small changes in Uranus's orbit led astronomers to seek out and discover the eighth and outermost planet of our solar system. Who predicted Neptune's location in the 1840s within 1° of where it was found?

In 1775 British troops capture Ethan Allen, the hero of Ticonderoga, when he and a handful of Americans try to invade Canada. They have their own furniture,  thank you very much.

Reading this siting on my Ethan Allen chair.

On this day in 1964, had a strawberry sunday at the Dairy Queen in Quebec City, I think it was the one on Rue De Champlain but I may be mistaken. Anyway it was by a Roman Catholic church and they of course had a very graphic Crucifix outside. The strawberry syrup on the white ice cream looked just like the blood on the mortified skin of the Crucifix and it looked just like Jesus was watching me eat this ice cream sunday....

Anyway it freaked me out because I was only 6 years old at the time...

Bang a drum. If you can keep up.

Bonham and Jp Jones would lay down some solid shit and Page could jerk off and who cared what Bobby sang.

Damn straight. John Paul Jones contributed so much and the 2 stage men took all the credit. Mandolin? JPJ.

First Photos Taken of a Giant Squid in the Wild (2004)
In 2004, two teams of Japanese researchers traveled to a sperm whale hunting ground south of Tokyo, where they attached bait, a camera, and a flash to a 3,000-foot (914-m) line. After numerous attempts to lure their prey, a 26-foot (8-m) giant squid attacked and became entangled in the lure, breaking free after more than 500 photos were taken over a four-hour period. What did the photos—the first ever taken of a live giant squid in its natural habitat—reveal about the mysterious creature?
