What happened on your Birthday?

[Chalacachaca]

630 ? Muhammad leads an army of 10,000 to conquer Mecca. I guess he succeeded...

1922 ? First use of insulin to treat diabetes in a human patient. Nice one, a part of my family suffers from diabetes.

1964 ? Surgeon General of the United States Dr. Luther Terry, M.D., publishes the landmark report Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the United States saying that smoking may be hazardous to health, sparking national and worldwide anti-smoking efforts. 24 years later, my dad lights a smoke in celebration of my birthday and 17 years later I do the same thing... stupid, stupid brat.

1399 ? Henry IV is proclaimed King of England.
1791 ? The first performance of The Magic Flute, the last opera by Mozart to make its debut, took place at Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna, Austria.
1947 ? The World Series, featuring the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers, is televised for the first time.
1962 ? James Meredith enters the University of Mississippi, defying segregation.
1968 ? The Boeing 747 is rolled out and shown to the public for the first time at the Boeing Everett Factory.

On my birthday, which is June 25th, the following happened:

The Augsburg Confession is presented to the Holy Roman Emperor in 1543, it's one of the most important documents of the Lutheran faith.

1947: The Diary of Anne Frank is published.

1950: The Korean War begins

1993: Kim Campbell becomes the first female Prime Minister in Canada

2009: Michael Jackson dies, all his records hit platinum, and the cult of "Dead musicians immediately become cultural saints regardless of what they actually did" begins.

You forgot the Battle of Little Big Horn (aka - Custer's Last Stand). Assuming you're American, that is. If not, my bad. (It's my birthday, too.)

It's also exactly six months between Christmases, which is pretty cool. I have built in excuses to party and get presents every six months.

"Sinister" or "Frankenweenie"? Both look like they'd fit.

The one with the zombie dog that looks like it'd somehow introduce necrobeastiphilia, how do I know this? Because there was a girl dog in the commercial that alerts me that at the end it turns out there are puppies. That's when I'm grossed out and want to draw a big sign that says "Totally fucking creepy" in sharpie on all the movie's posters.

So yes, Frankenweenie
