April

happy belated microdoft day everybody
sorry indin't post yesterday i was busy
april 5th:
1-General Douglas MacArthur died in Washington, D.C. at the age of 84. (1964)
2- go fro broke day:

Are you a gambler? Then, today, is your day. It's Go For Broke Day. Today is a day to put it all on the line, and take a chance. It might be money. Or, it can be a love relationship. Perhaps, it's time to initiate a risky project, or to take a new job.
Many of us go about our daily lives playing it safe, not taking big chances. If you are of a conservative ilk, you may have never gone out on a limb, or taken big risks. If this sounds like you, maybe today is a day to really let loose and "Go for Broke".
If you can muster up the courage to take a big risk, you can enjoy today by taking big risks and "Going for Broke". We will leave it up to you to decide whether the risk is worth taking.
 
april 6th:
1-Explorers Matthew A. Henson and Robert E. Perry are the first to reach the North Pole. (1909)
2-The first modern Olympic games opens in Athens, Greece (1896)
3-Twinkies hit the market. The first twinkies were banana-filled.(1930)
 
OK.....
Well i was just wondering if any of you guys had any information or other facts.
Im inclined to think that they did not in fact reach the North Pole but probably somewhere really close to it, seeing as more than 90 years later they " copied" his trip and reached only five hours faster.

Who really cares anyway? It's nicer to think that they actually did it......and that includes the moon landing which they most definitely DID do - several times.
 
I believe that they did it. Especially after you read a couple of books about the North Pole. Plus im not that much of a conspiracy theorist. Im pretty sure they reached the moon. I just wanted to know who was first. Thats all.
 
yeah i believe they did everything i was just having some fun

Addendum:

where did the post go i had posted the holidays to day as a double post knowing that they would be merged somebody put something please cause I'm to lazy to do it again
