Today, let’s celebrate Tapioca Pudding day and Cow Appreciation Day. If you can’t appreciate a real cow, go out and NOT eat Beef today. Instead, eat Tapioca Pudding, okay, you don’t have to substitute Tapioca for beef, but you can eat it just the same, if you like it, that is. Have a Great Day…Celebrate Life!
1903- Ernst Pfenning ordered the first Ford Motor Company Automobile, an $850 Model A. It was delivered a little over a week later.
1888- The volcano, Bandai, erupted in Honshu, Japan, killing hundreds and destroying villages in the area.
1869- Margarine, aka Oleo, was patented. Margarine ‘invented’ oleomargarine after Emperor Louis Napoleon III of France offered a prize to anyone who could come up with a butter substitute to be used by the military and ‘the lower classes’. Margarine was named after the Greek word for pearl, after its appearance.
1844- Vulcanized Rubber was patented by a seemingly unknown fella, Goodyear. Some say it may have been a bit of, what Bob Ross says was a ‘happy accident’.

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.
