On this day in...


On this day in...
1803 – The United States Senate ratifies the Louisiana Purchase.
1968 – Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy marries Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis.
1979 – The John F Kennedy library is opened in Boston, Massachusetts.
1987 – Black Monday - the largest one-day percentage decline in recorded stock market history.

Births
1882 – Bela Lugosi, Hungarian-born actor (d. 1956)
1931 – Mickey Mantle, American baseball player (d. 1995)
1950 – Tom Petty, American musician
1958 – Viggo Mortensen, American actor
1958 – Scott Hall, American professional wrestler
1965 – William Zabka, American actor
1970 – Chavo Guerrero, Jr., American professional wrestler
1971 – Eddie Jones, American basketball player
1971 – Snoop Dogg, American rapper
1981 – Willis McGahee, American football player

What a great b-day for badasses! Bad boys like Mickey Mantle, Scott Hall and Snoop. Plus the walking 80's cliche bully - Billy Zabka. If I ever get the chance to make a movie, Billy Zabka is going to be the antagonist. Watch the video. It's great.
