Thought of the day
May we be less judgemental and more understanding with each other for the glory of love. Direct all questions to yourself and reason within; therein lies all the answers, the seed grows from inside out.
— Samantha Nnenna Adindu
Fact of the day
The word “clitoris” is Greek for “divine and goddess like.”
Married people are more likely to masturbate than people living alone.
What happened in history today:
1984 Michael Jackson’s Hair Catches on Fire
The King of Pop Michael Jackson‘s hair catches on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial when a pyrotechnic exploded too early. He suffered second degree burns on his scalp and face. Pepsi settled out of court for a $1.5 million settlement and Jackson donated the money to the Brotman Medical Center in Culver City, California, which named its Michael Jackson Burn Center after him.
!967 Apollo 1 Disaster
An electrical fire erupts during a simulation on the launch pad, killing astronauts Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Roger Chaffee, and Edward White. They were the first U.S. astronauts to die in a spacecraft.
The ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material, and the high pressure, pure oxygen cabin atmosphere. Rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.
