mad mike Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 The old man sits on his comfortable rocking chair on the sunny front porch quietly musing the event that have happen on this 13th of February during history. 1258 - Baghdad falls to the Mongols, and the Abbasid Caliphate is destroyed. 1349 - Jews are expelled from Burgsordf, Switzerland 1601 - John Lancaster leads first East India Company voyage from London 1633 - Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei arrived in Rome for trial before Inquisition for professing belief that earth revolves around the Sun 1668 - Treaty of Lisbon: Spain recognizes Portugal 1689 - British Parliament adopts Bill of Rights - establishes limits on the crown and rights of parliament 1692 - Glencoe Massacre : about 78 MacDonalds are killed early in the morning by rival Campbell clan members, allegedly for not promptly pledging allegiance to the new king, William of Orange. 1706 - Battle at Fraustadt: Swedish army beats Russia/Saksen 1741 - Andrew Bedford publishes 1st American magazine (American Magazine) 1782 - French fleet occupies St Christopher 1809 - French take Saragossa, Spain after a long siege 1861 - Abraham Lincoln declared US president in Washington DC 1905 - -40°F (-40°C) Lebanon, Kansas (state record) 1920 - Switzerland rejoins the League of Nations 1923 - 1st Black pro Basketball team, "Renaissance", organizes 1935 - 1st US surgical operation for relief of angina pectoris, Cleveland 1941 - Nazi leaders attack Dutch Jewish Council 1942 - Hitler's Operation Sealion (invasion of England) cancelled 1945 - Allied planes bomb Dresden Germany; 135,000 die 1945 - USSR captures Budapest, after 49-day battle with Germany; 159,000 die 1960 - France performs 1st nuclear test at Reggane Proving Grounds Algeria 1988 - 15th Winter Olympic games opens at Calgary, Canada 1989 - Kidnapped Belgian Premier Vanden Boeynants freed 2009 - Unix time passed 1,234,567,890 seconds February 13, 2009 at exactly 23:31:30 (UTC).2015 - The Order of Liberty and Defence was founded Abruptly his musing was interrupted by those pesky young kids from around the corner. With a creak of bones and a bit of effort, the OLD man chases them from his front yard (going under a ladder and avoids tripping over a black cat but crossed in it's path) his shouts of respect my privacy, young whippersnappers echoing down the street. Tired out he returns to his comfortable chair with the help of those friendly neighborhood kids next door and decides that enough is enough!On this day we are proud to announce the existence of The Order of Liberty and Defense, protected by Doom Squad and MI6 charter on our forums (figured the post was already long enough) Forums are here: www.old-cn.com IRC here: #old Signatures Mad Mike - trium Trobay Trojan - trium Jaguar - trium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
