on this day in history:
2005: the Nutgroist blog innovates new techniques of plagiarism, ripping off both Couscous and Nutgroist
2004: Ted Bumgay of Of, Arizona owner of the world's fattest cock, dies of unrelated injuries. Cholestorol tests, however, prove definitively inconclusive
1993: Dave the Petunia, the world's first always-funny talking plant, dies live on stage at The Sands, Vegas after failing to respond to the crowd's heckling "You're just a pansy"
1966: Perennial spinster Miss Eleanor Rigby of Woolton, Liverpool, dies. Funeral sparsely attended.
1958: Watt Tyler, the original young soul rebel, is finally released from prison and immediately signs to Parlophone where he releases a series of high quality rock 'n' roll records before tragically being put to death by the Mayor of London in 1381
1944: In a last desperate attempt to change the course of history, Hitler declares war on Germany
1939: The Second in the trilogy of really cracking World Wars begins ahead of schedule.
1928: Adolph Hitler finds Ian Kershaw's biography of Adolph Hitler at a car-boot sale of time-travelling artefacts in Linz. The last chapter having been mysteriously ripped out, Adolph decides to buy it anyway 'just for fun'
1916: Preposition Tax lifted
1902: On the anniversary of her death and under immense public pressure, Queen Victoria reluctantly abdicates. Both Cardinal Wolsey and Thomas a Beckett tender their resignations in solidarity.
1901: Queen Victoria dies upon hearing the news of her favourite twin-sister, Catherine the Great of Russia, Horsefucker
1900: Catherine the Great of Russia, whatsername Parker-Bowles' great granny, dies, tragically crushed by a 2 ton urban myth
1890: Van Gogh, mad phlegm painter and greatest artist of his day, dies from an uncauterised head wound. It is the end of an ear.
