July 8th is Video Games Day. I plan on celebrating by playing my Wii, Intelevision and a variety of other computer games.
1969- Thor Heyerdahl and his raft Ra II lands in Barbados. 1951- Paris celebrated its 2,000th birthday. Some believe that it is even 250 years older than that as ‘Ile de la Cite’. 1918- Hemingway wounded saving a fellow soldier during WWI. 1835- The (second) Liberty Bell cracked (probably) during the a ringing in honor of the death of Chief Justice John Marshall. (The ‘original’ Liberty Bell cracked during a test ringing before it was even placed in its permanent home. ) 1796- The first passport was issued by the US State Department. 1776- The Liberty Bell rings to alert all residents of the first public reading of The Declaration of Independence.

I will do my best to review this comment and add it as soon as possible. Sorry, but if it is mean, crude, disgusting or irrelevant I can't post it. Remember we are supposed to be celebrating not dragging people down.
