ntndeacon · 10-22-2007, 09:10 PM

ntndeacon · 10-23-2007, 12:08 AM

10.8 10/19,1781 Cornwallis Surrenders at Yorktown (military event)

Thanks, it was just a bad cold for baby and mom, nothing serious.

larrymcg421 · 10-23-2007, 09:22 AM

Can we get an update on the first post, specifically what dates are still available?

Barkeep49 · 10-23-2007, 01:14 PM

Ok let me put together my picks. Will be up shortly.

Barkeep49 · 10-23-2007, 01:27 PM

10.9 - January 4, 1936: Billboard released their first chart of popular pop music (Entertainment Non-Fiction)

Billboard's charts have long been the gold standard in the music industry and this was the date of the very first one.

Barkeep49 · 10-23-2007, 01:45 PM

11.1 - September 13, 1996 - Tupac is shot (Death/Births)

I'm telling you it was Biggie man.

Neon_Chaos · 10-23-2007, 01:51 PM

Nice pick.

One of the few artists who would have influenced change in society. Too bad his time on this earth was so short.

Mustang · 10-23-2007, 08:58 PM

TredWel · 10-23-2007, 10:26 PM

11.2 - May 28, 1934 - The Dionne Quintuplets are born, the first quintuplets to survive infancy.

Nice to see a another birth event. I really wanted to do one myself but with the dates available to me Tupac seemed like an obvious choice.

larrymcg421 · 10-24-2007, 08:10 AM

As the last person needing July, here is my pick...

11.8 - July 18, 1925: Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf is published for the first time.

Buccaneer · 10-24-2007, 08:51 AM

When it's my turn, can I get a copy of the first post sent via email, assuming that it will be updated?

ntndeacon · 10-24-2007, 10:13 AM

11.3 March 6, 1836 Davy Crockett dies defending the Alamo (Birth/Death)

Maple Leafs · 10-24-2007, 10:28 AM

I have March 6 already crossed off my list...

ntndeacon · 10-24-2007, 10:59 AM

I will redo it after my meeting.

ntndeacon · 10-24-2007, 04:35 PM

11.3 March 17, 493 St. Patrick dies (birth/ death)

Sorry for the earlier confusion

Mustang · 10-24-2007, 05:15 PM

Front page updated.

There are several people that have the only pick left in the month.

Treadwell - Jan
Buc - August
Maple - Sept
Neon - Oct
Myself - Dec

You can make those at any time. I'd hope to get this wrapped up before the weekend.

Please... pretty please?

Neon_Chaos · 10-24-2007, 05:24 PM

My last October pick.

11.10 - Potluck - Oct. 29, 1929 - The US stock market crashes, in what was to be called Black Tuesday. It also marks the beginning of the Great Depression.

Buccaneer · 10-24-2007, 06:25 PM

Does that mean that I can go ahead and make my 12.4 pick for August and then use May for my upcoming 11.7 pick?

Buccaneer · 10-24-2007, 06:30 PM

12.4 Natural Disaster: August 27, 1883 - Krakatoa volcanic explosions, the loudest sound historically recorded, heard 2,000 miles away.

Mustang · 10-24-2007, 07:09 PM

Interesting.. what was it recorded on?

Buccaneer · 10-24-2007, 07:12 PM

"Recorded history" means something but not what you think.

Neon_Chaos · 10-24-2007, 07:19 PM

Some British dude in a boat in Indonesia.

The way you have it phrased in your pick his question was right. Flipping the words made historically into an adverb modifying recorded.

Buccaneer · 10-24-2007, 08:07 PM

I just went with the prevaling trend of copying from wiki.

After Mt St Helens and Vesuvius, Krakatoa was the most famous volcano I could think of.

Buccaneer · 10-25-2007, 05:45 PM

Did this die?

Radii · 10-25-2007, 05:52 PM

Its on Maple Leafs right? I'll go ahead w/ my next pick to keep us moving shortly.

Maple Leafs · 10-25-2007, 07:09 PM

Crap guys, sorry. I got confused with all the other picks and lost track. You're right, it is my turn. Feel free to keep picking until I get my act together.

path12 · 10-25-2007, 09:54 PM

I'll have a pick in the morning, I forgot my sheet at work.

Radii · 10-25-2007, 10:26 PM

11.5 - 5/15/1928 - The first animated short featuring Mickey Mouse is released. (Entertainment)

larrymcg421 · 10-25-2007, 10:35 PM

I have finished all of my picks, so make sure to skip me when my turn comes up.

Buccaneer · 10-25-2007, 10:39 PM

I'll go ahead and make my May (and last) pick since path doesn't need May.

11.7 Pre-17th: May 20, 325 - First Council of Nicaea, probably the most influential religious synod since it formalized the Christian doctrine

Maple Leafs · 10-26-2007, 09:27 AM

Sorry again for holding things up:

11.4 - Feb. 26, 1991 - Tim Berners-Lee introduces WorldWideWeb, the first web browser (Potluck)
12.7 - Sept. 29, 1954 -Willie Mays of the New York Giants makes "The Catch", arguably the greatest play in baseball history (Sports)

path12 · 10-26-2007, 11:07 AM

11.5 - March 29, 1912 -- Three members of the Scott Expedition to the South Pole freeze to death. (Birth/Death)

ntndeacon · 10-29-2007, 03:29 PM

who is up?

Maple Leafs · 10-29-2007, 03:46 PM

I think Radii.

Path picked at 11.5, but that should actually be 11.6, with Radii on the clock at 11.5.

path12 · 10-29-2007, 04:06 PM

Actually, Radii picked 11.5 at #435. I should have said 11.6 though. Bucc and Larry are done, so I think that makes it Mustang or Neon. I'm ready with my last whenever.

path12 · 10-29-2007, 04:10 PM

Dola, after looking things over it appears that nobody below me needs February, so I'll just do my last one now:

12.5 -- February 14, 2005 -- You Tube is established. (entertainment)

Radii · 10-29-2007, 05:18 PM

I know that all I have left is February, so I think I had to wait on path to take Feb since he came before me. Pretty sure now that he has I can make my last pick. holy crap this is confusing

ntndeacon · 10-29-2007, 06:49 PM

and I think I had February left as well

Mustang · 10-30-2007, 08:05 AM

Sorry guys, been ill for the last 3 days.. (3 day headaches are NOT fun)

I'll get everything updated this morning and start IM as to wrap this up pretty darn quick.

I just have December left so, I'll make that pick soon.

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2007, 08:35 PM

I know I have December left and I think several people need it before me.

Buccaneer · 10-30-2007, 08:38 PM

Mustang must have died from his headaches.

Barkeep49 · 11-02-2007, 09:22 AM

A bump.

Honestly.. it has been a complete and utterly miserable week from that standpoint. I had a 12 hour reprieve and then back to headaches.

I should have got the front page updated now though. I haven't made my Dec pick yet.
