Today

Hello my dear followers,

Today is the 25th of may and it is a rainy day so I am stuck in my room till the evening. I got bored of all the series and social media so I google what happened on this day and the results were quiet astonishing.

Famous people born on that day were:  Ginny Simms in 1916 (singer), Claude Akins in 1926 (actor), Jeanne Crain in 1925 (actress), Kitty Kallen in 1926 (singer), Ian McKellen in 1939 (actor), Klaus Meine in 1958 (Musician in the band Scorpions) and many more.

On the 25th of may in 1935 Babe Ruth had his final homerun and made a record with 714 which stood for 39 years.

1953 in Nevada the first atomic cannon was fired.

1997 the U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond became the longest-serving senator in the history with 41 years and 10 months. Also in the same year Poland adopted a constitution which removed all traces of communism from there legal system.

In 2001 Erik Weihenmeyer 32 years old became the first blind climber who reached the summit of Mount Everest. Sherman Bull 64 years old was in the same year the oldest climber to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

Those were the most interesting happenings from my side. For all the other days in the year you can visit the website listed below.
