Happy Julian New Year! Still in use by the Berbers and some orthodox churches, the Julian Calendar was first implemented when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon OF TIME. And overpowered it with his SUPERIOR FORCES. Then, the months all gathered together with Caesar and GAVE HIM HIS COMEUPPANCE. And as Caesar passed out of this world, he reached up and said "Eh tu, February?" and February was all like "Meh too, buddy. Meh too." And then the months laughed and laughed.
What?
Well, anyway. On this date in 1943 Franklin "Delano" Roosevelt became the first US President to travel by airplane while in office. Before that point, the Presidents just used their wings. Except for Coolidge, who used a "caterpillar"-like engine similar to the one featured in The Hunt for Red October.
I'm going to end this IB now.
