In 1995, a gang breaking-in to a fireworks factory in Kent, England, used an oxyacetylene torch which ignited tons of fireworks...... the resultant explosion demolished the factory, AND the robbers!! Signs all over saying "NO Naked Flame" .... go figure, huh?


In 2000 oppostion protestors stormed the Yugoslav parliament building in Belgrade, and proclaimed Vojislav Kostunica the new President in place of Slobodan Milosevic.


Monty Python's Flying Circus featuring John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Graham Chapman and Terry Jones, premiered on BBC TV today in 1969.


A fire-engine answering an emergency call in Dublin in 1991, had to be rescued itself when it caught fire because of a wiring fault!! Only in Ireland!


PF..... I won't tell Steph..... you're secret's safe with me!!
