This Day in History - Misc.

Busy day.

First, we have this:

1774 Joseph Priestley discovers oxygen

Now I could have sworn that every living creature had used oxygen before this, but what do I know?

Next in line, is this:

1914 First World War erupts in Europe

The war to end all wars. Yeah, that worked.

On to automotive:

1941 The Jeep is born

Now that was an invention. Nobel proze worthy. Of course it has mutated into an overpriced piece of shit SUV now, but back in the day, is was a rather versatile vehicle.

And now we have entertainment:
SHANE! COME BACK!

1953 Shane released by Paramount

Meh, it was an okay movie.

But on teevee a few years later, we got this:

1971 Sonny and Cher debuts

They taught the world how to degrade and belittle each other, how to flip the hair over the shoulder in the most casual fashion, and how not to sing and act.

Ahhh, the memories.
