6/18: History Lessons

I learned several interesting facts today about today in history.  Sometimes when just surfing the net, I check out the interesting things that happened for the day.

For example, today:

Philip Barry, dramatist, who wrote "The Philadelphia Story," was born in 1896.

Isabella Rossellini ("Blue Velvet") was born in 1952

Roger Ebert was born in 1942

The U.S. declared war on Britain to begin the battle of 1812

Napolean was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo

Wow!  That is a lot to learn and there was a lot more, but I forgot it.
