Salerni STRANGE BUT TRUE By Samantha Weaver * In 1977, Ken Olson, presi- dent, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Company, made the following regrettable statement: “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” * Gross fact of the day: Half of the bacteria in the human mouth haven't even been identified yet by science. * The drug Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic, used mainly to treat infestations of worms. The people who have been helped by this medication might be surprised to learn that the dre was deveioved through research s d by a fungus found ooh on the golf shoe of a botanist. * If you're a centenarian, you might want to consider moving to New Mexico. In that state, there is a law declaring that everyone 100 and older is tax- exempt. * Unless you were around on April 17, 1964, you may not be aware of the hullabaloo caused by the introduction of the Mustang. In Seattle, a truck driv- er was so distracted by a display of new Mustangs that he crashed his cement truck through the window of the dealership. In Chicago, so many people were trying to crowd into the cars in a showroom that the dealer had to lock all the vehicle doors. A dealer in New Jersey had only one Mustang, so he auctioned it off. The winner of the auc- tion insisted on sleeping in his new car that night, just to make sure nobody else got it before his check cleared. * Arizonans take note: Hunting camels is illegal in your state. * If you're like the hypothetical average person, your mouth will create 10,000 gallons of saliva over the course of your lifetime. Thought for the day: “A pint of sweat saves a gallon of blood.” — General George S. Patton MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel * On July 24, 1567, during her imprisonment at Lochleven Castle in Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots is forced to abdicate in favor of her 1-year-old son, later crowned King James VI of Scotland. In 1542, while just 6 days old, Mary had ascended to the Scottish throne upon the death of her father, King James V. * On July 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln informs his chief advisers and cabinet that he will issue a proclamation to free slaves, but that he will wait until the Union Army has achieved a substantial military victory. The Emancipation Proclamation had less to do with ending slavery than saving the crumbling union. * On July 23, 1918, Della Sorenson kills the first of her seven victims in Nebraska. Over the next seven years, friends, relatives and acquaintances of Sorenson died under mysteri- ous circumstances. In 1925, Sorenson was arrested when she made an unsuccessful attempt at killing two children with poi- soned cookies. * On July 28, 1929, President John F. Kennedy's wife, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, is born into a prominent New York family. In 1951, she began her first job as the Washington Times-Herald’s “Inquiring Camera Girl,” roaming the streets of Washington, D.C., and asking “man on the street” ques- tions. * On July 26, 1943, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is born in Dartford, Kent, England. Michael Philip Jagger attended the London School of Economics, but left without graduating in order to pursue a career in music. * On July 25, 1978, Louise Joy Brown, the world’s first baby to be conceived via in vitro fertil- ization, is born in Manchester, England. In December 2006, Louise gave birth to a boy, Cameron John Mullinder, who was conceived naturally. * On July 27, 1996, in Atlanta, the XXVI Summer Olympiad is disrupted by the explosion of a nail-laden pipe bomb in Centennial Olympic Park. The bombing killed one and injured more than 100 others. Police were warned of the bombing in advance, but the bomb exploded before the anonymous caller said it would. Marshallick, of Dallas.
