1587: Mary, Queen of Scots, is executed.
Is that where they took the expression "the Queen is dead - Long Live the Queen" from?
You're such a peasant, Clifford! NO - it's not it! They would have had to say "Long Live the OTHER Queen"
1792: Henry Laurens becomes the first person cremated in the U.S.
Is that what inspired the Ramones' song - "I wanna be cremated"?
No, you silly loon - that's "I wanna be sedated"!
1980: John Lennon was silenced by a madman's bullet today.
Not everyone is a fan, you know... Yoko naked, ok... but him too? UGH!
"Imagine nothing to kill or die for" - we'd be out of work!
