The Significance Of April 19 & 20 In History

Today is April 20.

So you thought 13 was an unlucky number? April 19th & 20th are fraught with violence and terrorism in history. Here are some examples:

The Columbine High School massacre occurred on April 20, 1999.  Dead: 15; Injured: 24

The Oklahoma City bombing attack on Alfred Murrah Federal Building occurred on April 19, 1995.  Dead: 168; Injured: 680+

The Waco Siege ended in a fire on April 19, 1993.  Dead: 26, 20 of them were children

Nazi invasion of Warsaw Ghetto is often cited to have occurred on April 19th/20th. → source

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889.

The British attack on Massachusetts colonies occurred on April 19, 1775. That’s how you know about Paul Revere.

I can’t wait for April 21.

Eating Bricks And Rocks For Breakfast. Yum, Yum

Parents, don’t let your kids grow up to eat anything they want. You should be firm: if you don’t eat your veggies, you can’t have any bricks for dessert.

ILVTOFU – You Have A Dirty Mind, I Knew It!

Tofu

Kelley Coffman-Lee, a 38-year-old mother of three, loves tofu. She loves it so much that she wanted to let the whole world know. So logically she asked the DMV to approve a special vanity plate that reads “ILVTOFU”. → source

The BMV denied the request. It turns out that “FU” is on a long list of barred letter combinations.

Perhaps she loves both tofu and to fu!

Actually, I side with the BMV on this one. No one really loves tofu that much. Nice try Ms. Coffman-lee – if that’s your real name!
