On This Day

On this day,1992,29th April:The Legion of Net.Heroes, or LNH, is the oldest (and perhaps the first) USENET-based shared universe still in existence, and the name of the premiere "net.hero" team in that universe. Birthed from a rec.arts.comics cascade thread in April of 1992 [1], it began as a superhero parody universe, with characters like Cheesecake-Eater Lad and Super Apathy Lad defending the “Looniverse” from the likes of Lagneto and Doctor Killfile. Over time, it has evolved to include comedy, serious drama, character pieces and melodrama.

Oh yes, those too. I get all sorts of them, but I reckon it's best we don't go into that right now.

"Thus, every communist should become an active participant in this electoral upsurge, if he or she hasn’t already done so. The avenues are many and the possibilities are nearly limitless." -- Sam Webb, chairman, Communist Party USA (speaking of Obama / Clinton)

May 1-1886 - The start of the general strike which eventually wins the eight-hour workday in the United States. These events are today commemorated as May Day or Labor Day in most industrialized countries.

On May 1st-Spanish American War:The first battle was in the Philippines where, on May 1, 1898, Commodore George Dewey, commanding the United States Pacific fleet, in a matter of hours, defeated the Spanish squadron, under Admiral Patricio Montojo y Pasarón, without sustaining a casualty at sea, at the Battle of Manila Bay. The success of the Pacific Fleet was due to the Spanish Navy being trapped in the bay. This naval battle became a textbook example for future Naval commanders.
