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.

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.
