Today in 8,000 BC, an Indian man discovered, mapped, and named the future state of Delaware, and also drafted an early version of the state constitution, but it was not ratified.

Today in 1955, the first underwater car was driven accidentally, to mild applause.

Today in 1643, every single landholding noble in France switched places with a poor member of their staff. Since none of them had informed the others of their plans, it led to some confusion.

Today in 1973, Richard Nixon played racquetball for the first time. He played against Secretary of Housing and Urban Development James T. Lynn, and lost graciously.

Today in 1990, Roger Emember invented the act of thinking about things from the past, or R. Emembering (remembering) for the people who desire specific words for their definitons. This is why only 90's kids can remember things.
