Fun fact of the day: A horse normally has more than one horsepower. A study in 1993 showed that the maximum power a horse can produce is 18,000W, around 24 horsepower.
Did you know? During the early iterations of golf, the balls were originally made of feathers and leather. Feathers were moistened and wrapped tightly around the leather, which helped it dry. The process of making them was long, tedious, and they were predictably unreliable.
On this date in sports:
- In 1894, German Emanuel Lasker became the undisputed World Chess Champion by beating Austrian-American defending titleholder Wilhelm Steinitz, 10-5 (4 draws) in Montreal, Canada.
- In 1923, the inaugural 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race for cars started through public roads around Le Mans, France; the inaugural winners were André Lagache and René Léonard (France) for Chenard & Walcker.
- In 1959, MLB Pittsburgh Pirates Harvey Haddix pitched 12 perfect innings, losing it in the 13th to the Braves at Milwaukee County Stadium.
Today is National Blueberry Cheesecake Day!! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!
On this date in history:
- In 1978, the first legal gambling casino in the United States, located outside the state of Nevada, opened on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
-
In 1966, formerly a colony of the Dutch and later the British, Guyana gained its independence.
-
In 1940, during World War II, the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) began its evacuation of British and Allied troops from the French seaport of Dunkirk. Adolf Hitler's baffling order to halt forces near a line of canals some 15 miles from the city provided a window of opportunity for Allied troops to escape via the English Channel. Nearly 8,000 troops were evacuated in the first 24 hours, and the tempo increased dramatically over subsequent days. While the Royal Air Force patrolled the skies, some 700 civilian craft, the “little ships” of Dunkirk, joined the rescue effort. In the end, 338,226 Allied troops were ferried to safety in England.
- In 1897, Irish writer Bram Stoker published the Gothic horror classic Dracula, which became the basis for an entire genre of literature and films about vampires.
