What’s Wacky Today?

Today is Sally Ride Day. I have to confess, I did not remember or know who Sally Ride was until I created today’s article. She was the first American woman to go into space and in 2003 was added to the Astronaut Hall of Fame.

Heads Up for Tomorrow: Sun Screen Day

What Wacky happened on this date in the past?

In 1647 a new law banned Catholic priests from Massachusetts colony as a first offense; the second offense was death. Montana is recognized as a territory in 1864. The H-bomb was patented in 1946. 1961 sees a record flight of U.S. Air Force bomber across the Atlantic in just over three hours. And, da-da-da, daaah dah… Star Wars movie debuts in 1977. And the Dodge Viper rolls off the assembly line for the first time in 1992!

“That is why you fail”
“Do or do not. There is no try”
All of the above are awesome Star Wars quotes. In celebration of its debut in 1977 here is a fun clip from the film. Enjoy.
