But not for some - - -
1611: Henry Hudson, his son and seven others were set adrift in the Bay that bears his name after a mutiny. Other than a motor car, a parkway in New York and a famous dry-goods company, he was never heard from again.
1633: Galileo Galilei was forced to admit his mistake in saying that the earth revolved around the sun. This was an early manifestation of the Catholic churchs' religious freedom program. We all know how this turned out.
1808: Zebulon Pike peaked.
1812: Napoleon's Grand Armee invades Russia. Doesn't work.
1868: Arkansas reenters the United States. Imagine, if we hadn't let 'em back in, Bill Clinton never would have been President (and Mike Huckleberry could stop running).
1938: Joe Lewis knocked out Max Schmeling in the first round. So much for the master race theory.
1941: Hitler (no, the real one, not the black guy in the White House )invades Russia. See above for the French guy. Doesn't anyone read history ?? Maybe they just look at the pictures.
2009: A circuit failed on Metro's Red Line. Two trains collide and nine die. Escalators throughout the system continue to be inoperable at the most convenient times.
and ......... this just in .............
2012: Jerry Sandusky convicted on 45 counts of child sexual molestation.
