Morning everyone! TGIF!
On this day in history:
1908: The Office of the Chief Examiner, which in 1935 became the FBI, was created.
1947: President Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act, creating the Department of Defense, the National Security council, the CIA, and the Joint chiefs of staff.
1952: Argentina's first lady, Eva Peron, died in Buenos Aires at age 33.
Strange laws:
The early Christian church forbade couples from having sex on Wednesdays, Fridays, and of course, Sundays.
In Pompeii, a special law was directed at prostitutes. They had to dye their hair either blue, red, or yellow in order to be able to work.
Sodomy laws have been repealed, or are ignored, in most states, but not Georgia, where a man was sentenced to five years in prison for engaging in oral sex. With his wife. With her consent. In their home.
Have a great Midnight Breed day!
