On this day in...
1794 – The Whiskey Rebellion begins: farmers in the Monongahela Valley of Pennsylvania rebel against the federal tax on liquor and distilled drinks.
1944 – IBM dedicates the first program-controlled calculator.
1959 – The Lincoln Memorial design on the U.S. penny goes into circulation. It replaces the "sheaves of wheat" design and is still in use.
2007 – Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants breaks baseball great Hank Aaron's record by hitting his 756th home run.
Births
1975 – Charlize Theron, South African actress
1977 – Samantha Ronson, British DJ
1987 – Sidney Crosby, Canadian hockey player
A pretty weak b-day day by volume but Theron and Crosby are pretty solid. I just put Ronson on the list because I was surprised at how old she is. Not only did Lindsay Lohan go gay but she went old. I guess she likes cougars. Maybe next time she'll pick a more attractive one.
