@UnfadingWisdom Here's more information, with added death toll. londonist.com/2016/08/is-it-…
Reckless!!!!!!!!!!! 😄
On 28 January 1896, Walter Arnold drove his “horseless carriage” through Paddock Wood, Kent, at a reckless 8 mph. Arnold was chased down by a police officer on a bicycle, and later fined £4 and 7 shillings leading to the world’s first recorded speeding ticket.
@UnfadingWisdom ...and Coke old ads explained to parents that coke with coke in could quickly send kids to sleep...
@UnfadingWisdom Amazing as to what an hour difference can do to a legacy and immense fortune even 150 years on
@UnfadingWisdom He stole the telephone from an Italian immigrant?
Ха!
Fiery, redheaded Viking, Eric the Red (950 - 1003 AD) was exiled from Norway to Iceland for murder. When he got to Iceland, instead of behaving himself, he carried on killing people, was banished even further away and accidentally discovered Greenland!
@UnfadingWisdom This scam might still be viable. Any flat earthers want to buy some land on the other side?
@UnfadingWisdom I'm sure they were pilots before they were astronauts. 😊
"Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break; but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it." - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
The only statue from classical Rome to remain largely unmolested and on public display for nearly 2,000 years is the Equestrian statue of emperor Marcus Aurelius. Erected in the late 2nd century AD, it was finally put inside a museum in the 1980s.
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the first practical telephone in 1876, decided that the correct salutation on answering should be “Ahoy”.
@UnfadingWisdom John Larroquette would be great playing him.
@UnfadingWisdom Not "don't charge uphill me boys?"
@UnfadingWisdom It was on regular show I think
Really? Not "Hello" or "Yeah?" (I hear this a lot, sigh).
