On This Day. . .

In 1917, the United States declared war on Germany.

In 1930, Twinkies were invented.

In 1965, Early Bird, the first communications satellite to be put into synchronous orbit was launched.

If you're attending St. Thomas University in Fredericton, NB, Canada, you're likely observing "April 6th Day" by missing class in favor of having good ol' college fun. (Probably involving drinking, sex, drugs, or some combination thereof)

Also, I was born on this day in 1983, but I'm not counting! :P And since I turn 23 today, I get kicked off my parents' health insurance! I guess that means I can't have any serious medical emergencies (no chopping off fingers, for instance) until I can get some health insurance of my own.
