TODAY IN ROTTEN HISTORY
we live in a slightly mad world

Aug 16 1819
60 cavalrymen charge into a crowd of approximately 70,000 protesters at
St. Peter's Field in Manchester, England. The soldiers begin to hack
away at the people with their sabers and trample them under hoof. 11 die
and 400 are wounded in the Manchester Massacre, also called the Battle
of Peterloo.

Aug 16 1938
Blues musician Robert Johnson, who presumably sold his soul to the devil
(the story somewhat being told by the movie Crossroads), is poisoned by
a jealous husband in Three Forks, Mississippi.

Aug 16 1960
Emmett O. Hashfield abducts Avril Terry, an 11-year-old girl in
Booneville, Indiana. He then proceeds to murder, dismember, and eat
portions of her, before tossing the leftovers in a river.

Aug 16 1977
Elvis Presley dies in his home at the age of 42, while sitting on the
toilet. In the bathroom, he had been reading The Scientific Search for
the Face of Jesus. Presumably, Elvis' search was concluded shortly
thereafter.

[Was this your ACTUAL birthday?! That certainly explain a lot...]

Aug 16 1987
Mercury, Venus, and Mars all get bunched up near the Sun in what some
call the Harmonic Convergence. Thousands of nutballs clustered at sacred
locations like Mount Shasta, California begin meditating their asses off
for some damn reason.

Aug 16 1997
Aida Nur El-Din, a night nurse at Alexandria University's El-Mairy
Hospital, confesses to Egyptian authorities that she killed at least 18
ICU patients by injecting them with drugs stolen from the pharmacy.
Before she can be taken downtown, El-Din jumps out a three-story window
in a failed suicide attempt.
