complete with a pic of the Green Fella himself!
1288 -- Scotland: Establishes this day as one when a woman can propose marriage to a man! If he refuses, he is required to pay a fine.
1952 -- US: Run For Your Life?!
New York City pedestrians are told when to walk & when not to as four signs are installed at 44th Street & Broadway in Times Square.
Each sign flashes "Walk" for 22 seconds,
then "Don't Walk" for ten seconds
before the "Don't Walk" turns red for 58 seconds more.
Inspires "Jay Walking."
Other than that, not much happened
Bedtime.
