Today in History

Today, August 12th, 1914 Great (at the time) Britian declares war on the Central Powers which culminates, in a stunning upset of cause and effect, in the death of Cleopatra later this day in 30BC. Or something like that.

I just thought it was my birthday. Damn.

Thanks, as always, for the historical perspective.

Back home, embarrassing video from F/S.

Like I don't have my own share of embarrassing F/S videos. They usually start with me something pithy like "What the hell was that?"
