Note: These historical tidbits have been collected from various sources, mostly on the Internet.
As detailed in
this article, there is a lot of
wrong information that is repeated hundreds of times because most websites do not validate with
authoritative sources. On RF Cafe, events with hyperlinks
have been verified. All will eventually be either verified or removed.
Please submit significant
historical events and dates for inclusion in these lists. I will be glad to include your name and
birthday. Please do not submit your death date ;-)
A couple years ago, I began commemorating the birthdays of notable people and events with special
RF Cafe logos. Where available, I like to use images from postage stamps from the country where
the person or event occurred.
Today is Groundhog Day. 1863: Samuel Clemens first used his "Mark Twain" pseudonym. 1887: Groundhog Day was first observed in Punxsutawney, PA. 1902: Russian Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev, who developed the Periodic Table and left places for undiscovered elements, died. 1923: World's first leaded gasoline (Ethyl) went on sale at Willard Talbott's service station in Dayton, OH. 1931: A rocket was used for the first time to deliver mail in Austria by Friedrich Schmiemdl. 1949: The first 45 RPM record was released. 1996: Ray McIntire, inventor of Styrofoam, died.
