1836 - Samuel Colt manufactured the first pistol (.34-caliber).
1953 - Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin died. He had been in power for 29 years.
1976 - The British pound fell below the equivalent of $2 for the first time in history.

And it took another 33years to get back there and a inept chancellor to take it back down ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Take a bow ,Badger  ;) ;) ;)
