On this day (April 15), 96 years ago in 1912, the RMS Titanic sunk in the Atlantic Ocean taking a number of innocent victims with her into the icy waters. May God rest their souls.

May they rest in peace in the hands of the Lord.

A tragic event that deserves remembering.

16 years ago (now yesterday) a little redheaded boy was born. Named him Caleb. Ok, we didn't have the baby in honor of the Titanic, just happend that way/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/tongue.gif

My wife had a great-uncle who went down with the Titanic; I had a great-grandfather who wrote a song about the Titanic:

AND A YEAR LATER...ON THIS DAY...the modern Federal Income Tax, for the first time, was collected after the approval of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution...or something like that.

So why didn't we have another party? "Taxation despite representation!"
