Nothing Whatsoever To Do With The Birth Of Paul Laurence Dunbar
Either he now has a real job or Fanatical Apathy is taking up way too much of his time, because Chris Regan still hasn’t updated mythstory for today. Despite the overwhelmingly awesome things that happened on this day in history, Mythstory remains mired in the events of June 26. For shame!
Who can forget the thrilling election of Pope Agatho on this day in 678 (mainly known outside of Catholic circles as “Pope who?”), the tragic death of Joseph Smith, Jr. on this day in 1844 (turning the leader of just another kooky 1800’s revivalist religion into a martyr and filling the streets of pretty much everywhere with pairs of freshly scrubbed young missionaries spreading the Word of Wisdom, Pearl of Great Price and intolerance toward a good cappuccino), or the kind of, but not really, retirement of Muhammed Ali on this day in 1979? Not me, because I just looked it all up and will have it stuck in my head for at least half an hour more.
I am not going to expound upon any of those events, or thousands of others (I think Genghis Khan may have defectated or killed somebody (perhaps both, simultaneously?)) that occurred on this day in history as well. Instead, I will plead with Chris to update Mythstory. C’mon, work’s really slow today and I need something to kill the time.
