Yellow Pig Day is one of the oddest days I have had the privlige (?) of meeting. Yellow Pig Day is a mathematician’s day celebrating the number 17 and yes, yellow pigs. I think I will ask my sister, the math teacher, about it… Today you can also celebrate Peach Ice Cream Day if you have a thing against yellow pigs.
1955- Walt Disney opened his first theme park, Disneyland in Anaheim CA.
1938- Douglas Corrigan crossed the Atlantic, no big deal? It is when you realize that his flight, landing in Dublin, earned him the nickname of “Wrong Way” Corrigan. He took off from NY after filing flight plans to California. Authorities did not believe his “I got lost” routine and suspended his license. By the time he got back to NY (on a ship) the suspension had been lifted.
1902- Willis Carrier invented the air conditioner.
1867- The first dental school was founded. The Harvard School of Dentistry is where it is housed.

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.
