Good morning Phoenix! Happy Monday - hope it is a good start to your week. Now, on to some trivia.
On this date in history:
1890: Artist Vincent van Gogh died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Auvers, France.
1958: President Eisenhower signed the congressional act that created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was authorized by Congress.
1981: Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, married Lady Diana Spencer.
Strange laws:
In Norfolk, Virginia, a woman can't go out without wearing a corset. (There was a civil-service job—for men only—called a corset inspector.)
and on the flip side:
In Merryville, Missouri, women are prohibited from wearing corsets because "the privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American male." (Yeah, buddy!!)
It's safe to make love while parked in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Police officers aren't allowed to walk up and knock on the window. Any suspicious officer who thinks that sex is taking place must drive up from behind, honk his horn three times and wait approximately two minutes before getting out of his car to investigate.
And there you have it! Have a fantastic Midnight Breed day everyone!
