- William Tell shot an apple off of his son's head
- Christopher Columbus discovered Puerto Rico
- The five time zones were established in North America
- Mickey Mouse's birthday and the day that the first cartoon with sound was released
- The first book was printed on a printing press
- The first teddy bear was made and named after Theodore Roosevelt
- I was born sometime around 10am on a snowy day
I wonder if anything historic will happen this year... besides my birthday, that is.
