So, i'm home & bored. And also not feeling all that great so I decided to find interesting things that happened on this day in History. And i found quite a few and figured I should share with all [5] of you who read this blog.
1431 Joan of Arc, condemned as a heretic, was burned at the stake in Rouen, France.
1982 Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles played in the first of a record 2,632 consecutive major league baseball games.
1997 Child molester Jesse K. Timmendequas was convicted in Trenton, N.J., of raping and strangling a 7-year-old neighbor, Megan Kanka - a case that inspired "Megan's Law," which requires that communities be notified when sex offenders move in.
2002 A solemn, wordless ceremony marked the end of the cleanup at Ground Zero in New York, 8 1/2 months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
2005 American teenager Natalee Holloway disappeared on a trip to Aruba. (The case remains unsolved.)
2006 A jury in Rockville, Md., convicted John Allen Muhammad of six of the Washington-area sniper killings.
There are more events, obviously, but these are the ones I felt were the most intersting. Soon after i found these i got very distracted and started doing other nothings.
Enjoy, i guess.
