In one of history's most famous cases of body-snatching, two men steal the corpse of the revered film actor Sir Charles Chaplin from a cemetery in the Swiss village of Corsier-sur-Vevey, located in the hills above Lake Geneva, near Lausanne, Switzerland, on this day in 1978.

On this day in 1966, in Dearborn, Michigan, the Ford Motor Company celebrates the production of its 1 millionth Mustang, a white convertible. The sporty, affordable vehicle was officially launched two years earlier, on April 17, 1964, at the World's Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York. That same day, the new car debuted in Ford showrooms across America; almost immediately, buyers snapped up nearly 22,000 of them. More than 400,000 Mustangs were sold within that first year, exceeding sales expectations.

3/2/1968, Wifey and I tied the knot. When we got home from dinner Bubba Gump did his usual, "where you been all this time" and I
told him, "celebrating 350 dog years of marriage!" |

President Herbert Hoover signs a congressional act making "The Star-Spangled Banner" the official national anthem of the United States.
Now let's all stand, remove our hat, place a hand over the heart and show the respect the flag and the song deserve. (My sermon for the day.)

3/3/1985 - Women Against Pornography awarded its ?Pig Award? to Huggies Diapers. The activists claimed that the TV ads for diapers had "crossed the line between eye-catching and porn."
And now the latest ANTIFA fashion statement is a vagina hat |

Jesse Chisholm, who blazed one of the West's most famous trails, dies in Oklahoma of food poisoning.
Although the trail named for him later came to be one of the major cattle-drive routes between Texas and Kansas, Jesse Chisholm was a frontier trader, not a cattleman. Born in Tennessee of a Scottish father and a Cherokee mother, Chisholm was among the early pioneers who moved west into what is now the state of Arkansas. In his 20s, he joined a community of Cherokee Indians in northwestern Arkansas and became a frontier trader. His familiarity with both Anglo and Native American culture and language (he could reportedly speak 14 different Indian dialects) helped him build a thriving trade with the Osage, Wichita, Kiowa, and Commanche.

On this day in 1963, the Hula-Hoop, a hip-swiveling toy that became a huge fad across America when it was first marketed by Wham-O in 1958, is patented by the company's co-founder, Arthur "Spud" Melin. An estimated 25 million Hula-Hoops were sold in its first four months of production alone.

1624 Class-based legislation is passed in the colony of Virginia, exempting the upper class from punishment by whipping. And they've acted like spoiled brats ever since.
