Today in history

1693 - Dom Perignon invents champagne. I walk by his bottle every time I buy my $5 Cooks champagne.

1884 - Thomas Stevens became the first person to bicycle across the United States. He later bicycled around the world. He would later be named 1884's Man With Most Free Time.

1970 Jim Morrison arrested for drunkenness. I commemorate this day every year, by getting drunk myself.
