1743 the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, was born. Some 200 years after he died the grave-spinning began.

1883 Alfred Packer convicted of cannibalism. We could use a few more like him today.

2001 With the crew of a U.S. spy plane safely back in the United States, the Squinting Squatter begged his handlers to let him phone China and make "nyeh nyeh-" and farty-noises to Chinese officials.
