1832: Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Jabberwocky, is born.
I'm pretty sure this birth certificate refers to me as a "slithy tove".
1967: The US, UK, & USSR sign a treaty banning deployment of nuclear weapons in space, and limiting use of the Moon and other celestial bodies to peaceful purposes.
I'm always happy to sign treaties I couldn't break if I wanted to.
I'm adding a clause saying that Martians can't be drafted.
2010: J. D. Salinger, author of The Catcher in the Rye, dies.
Or maybe it was five months ago. Dude was pretty secretive.
