'tis friday in the citay

today in history:
1867 - the good ol' US of A took posession of Alaska.
.
1872 - the world's largest gold nugget was found in New South Wales.
it weighed approximately 473 pounds, was called the Holtermann Nugget and remains the largest single mass of gold ever found.
yeah, i don't know that i'd call that a nugget.
.
1962 - Evander Holyfield was born.
funny thing is, Mike Tyson got his boxing license back (on this same day in 1998) after biting part of Holyfield's ear off during a fight.
happy birthday to you!
.
1998 - some dude filed a lawsuit against Aerosmith for alleged hearing loss after he attended one of thier concerts.
ever heard of earplugs? or napkins? or having some balls?
.
2006 - NBC decided not to show Madonna mounting a crucifix in a concert special they planned to air.
Madonna? mounting an object? now that's something the whole world has never seen.
yawn.
