Fun fact of the day:  Human teeth are the only part of the body that cannot heal themselves. That's because teeth are coated in enamel, which is not a living tissue.

Did you know? In many skating competitions, judges can deduct a point if they consider a skater's costume to be overly garish or provocative.

On this date in sports:

  • In 1906, the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States was founded to set rules in amateur sports; it became the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 1910.

Today is National Crayon and Bunsen Burner Day!!!!

On this date in history:
  • In 1992, the USS Missouri, site of the Japanese surrender in 1945, formally ending World War II, was decommissioned for a second and final time; it was the last U.S. battleship still in service.
  • In 1980, American track-and-field legend Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, died at age 66.
  • In 1968, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson ended a televised speech about the Vietnam War by announcing that he would not seek reelection, stunning viewers.
  • 1943, Oklahoma! debuted on Broadway. The first of 11 musicals written by the iconic team of composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist and librettist Oscar Hammerstein II, Oklahoma! launched a golden age of American musical comedy that lasted through the 1950s.
  •  In 1918, Pres. Woodrow Wilson's Standard Time Act went into effect, which advanced clocks by an hour. Also called “wartime” because of its implementation during World War I, the time change was designed to conserve fuel by reducing the need for artificial light. However, daylight saving was largely unpopular; groups that rose early, such as farmers, were its harshest critics. After being implemented and repealed in various forms over the years, in 1966, the government set the Uniform Time Act, which standardized Daylight Saving Time nationwide.
  • In 1889, the 984-foot Eiffel Tower, a wrought iron technological masterpiece created by Gustave Eiffel to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution, was officially inaugurated in Paris.
  • In 1854, U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry signed the Treaty of Kanagawa in Japan, ending that country's period of seclusion.
