The Historical Discussion Thread: All Discussion Pertaining to History is Welcome
Time

January 9:

A.D. 1768: The first modern-style circus is held in London.

A.D. 2001: Apple announces iTunes...

and A.D. 2007: Apple announces the iPhone.

I never did like Apple's products. iTunes stinks--I much prefer Media Monkey myself.

It's amazing how many unimportant dates there are, historically speaking. This thread could get boring (for me--I assume it's already boring for you).

January 8:

A.D. 1835: The U.S. national debt is $0 for the first and only time.

^LOL

A.D. 1954: Elvis pays $4 to record his first two songs.

I never was a fan of Elvis (not that I've listened to any of his music), so this is meaningless to me, but it may be relevant to some older gentlemen on this forum, like Frink.

A.D. 1992: George Bush vomits on Japanese PM's lap.

I'm glad I won't be famous enough to leave any record of my vomiting behind when I die.

A.D. 2013: 2,130 people imprisoned by the Syrian government are exchanged for 48 Iranians held captive by Syrian rebels.
