Just Because

I miss the "Antarctica Fun Facts" addendum to my posts, and haven't found enough unique "green" posts to do daily. So, I'm going to start "This Day in History" additions, with a different skull calendar each month. Pretty exciting, eh?? (Humor me ;-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
1865 -- John Wilkes Booth was shot in a Virginia barn, either by the soldiers or by his own hand.

1964 -- Tanganyika and Zanzibar joined to form Tanzania.

1986 -- The worst nuclear power plant accident in history occurred at Chernobyl, near Kiev, U.S.S.R.
