Not much on my day

I just did this for another friend. Isn't copy and paste good?

Events:

1846 - The Smithsonian Institution is chartered by the U.S. Congress after $500,000 was given for such a purpose by scientist James Smithson.

I always wanted to visit the Smithsonian.

1988 - Japanese American Internment: US President Ronald Reagan signs the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, providing $20,000 payments to Japanese-Americans who were either interned or relocated by in the United States during World War II.

And those idjit liberals say Reagan did nothing good as President.

2005 - Lee Seung Seop dies from exhaustion in South Korea after playing 49 straight hours of Starcraft.

Dedicated gamer or idjit fanboy, you make the call.

Births:

1874 - Herbert Hoover, President of the United States (d. 1964)

Sing along with me..."Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again."

1959 - Rosanna Arquette, American model and actress

I couldn't find anyone else who'd be on MY list.

Death:

1945 - Robert Goddard, American rocket scientist (b. 1882)

I know there's a rocket scientist joke in here somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
