The Final Countdown

This is my last week of full-time posts. I started this little project on May 16th, 2014, and for the most part have managed to keep up with it. Friday will be my 252nd post meaning I still have 113 days to Mark (due to skipping weekends, holidays, and some miscellaneous days mostly due to LSU sports--not too bad, if I do say so myself). So www.markedthisday.com will still have some traditional “on this day” updates with the same random pop-culture references and meandering life-advice that I should probably learn to follow myself. But do you think Dear Abby followed all of her advice? Do as I say, not as I do. Anywho, I’m in the process of coming up with some ideas of how to continue Marking the Day. I think the days of daily posts are probably behind me for a while, but I would like to come up with something to continue posting on the site. If you have any ideas please comment below.

I’ve learned a lot of information over the last year, from when cheese first became commercially processed to the roots of the friendship between Shirley Temple and J. Edgar Hoover. So if they ever bring back Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and you find yourself being asked a question about some obscure historical happening you’re not quite sure of, give me a ring-a-ding.

Thanks to all those who have helped over the course of the year. Some people helped with the site name or event suggestions or sharing posts or spreading the word. From comments in real life, to a like on FB or just a page view, I loved hearing or seeing all of them more than you know. They often kept me writing.

So thanks again, friends. And remember if you have any ideas, or simply want to stroke my writer's ego with a "good job,"--let ‘em rip. If you’re happy this is over and are glad I won’t be clogging your newsfeed with my ramblings any more, well, if you could simply keep your negativity hidden from me, that’d be swell. Just talk trash behind my back. I'll never know the difference.

To the Final Countdown:



Regular Marking to follow.

AUGUST 22nd - Don't Drink the Kool-Aid

On this day in 1911, somebody working at the Louvre discovered that the Mona Lisa was missing. The previous day, a Monday--meaning the museum was closed to the public, Vincenzo Peruggia, a maintenance worker, brazenly walked out of the Louvre with what would eventually become the most famous painting in the world. Vincenzo basically sat on the painting for two years until he was caught trying to “return” it to his homeland of Italy in a misguided demonstration of Italian patriotism. The theft itself is quite interesting, mostly because of the lack of planning and preparation that went into it, but equally intriguing is the part it played in making the Mona Lisa so famous. Many historians feel that the painting reached new heights because it was stolen. It kind of makes sense in that whole “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone" kind of way. Not that I would suggest staging a kidnapping to allow your significant other to realize how much he/she loves you, because that’s jus

AUGUST 23rd - History of the One-Way

Image
On this day in 1617, the idea of the one-way street was supposedly introduced in London in the alleys near the River Thames. I’m not sure why London was on the cutting edge of traffic direction, though Albemarle Street, which is acknowledged as the first one-way street, was designated as such because the scientific lectures given there in the early 1800s were so popular. Why wouldn't they be? I can’t really imagine why a one-way street in 1617 would be necessary, but then I can’t really imagine what London in 1617 was like at all. I’m fresh out of people to interview too. Unless the Highlander is real. Just as well. Interviews take a long time. And the person inevitably goes off on tangents. Look, I’m sure the story of how you “accidentally” ingested psychedelic mushrooms while trekking across the Pacific Northwest in your hippie days and met your first wife, Wind Lover, is an incredible story, but I merely asked if you were currently married. It’s a yes or no question. Without the

OCTOBER 23rd - A Blink of the Cosmic Eye

On this day in 1977, American paleontologist, Elso S. Barghoorn, announced the discovery of some algae microfossils, complete with some super-scientific name and some super-scientific qualifiers, that were 3.4 billion years old. In layman’s terms--really freaking old. Interestingly enough October 23 was also thought, for a long time, to be the day on which the Earth was created. In 1650, church leaders interpreted that the bible documents Earth’s creation on October 23, 4004 BC. Also a long time ago. Not quite the 3.4 billion years of the first life-forms, or the 4.5 billion years most scientist believe the Earth has been around for. So old Barghoorn may have been giving a little nod there, as in “I’ll take your 5700 years and raise you a few billion.” In any case, it shows that we are here but for a blink of the cosmic eye. Stuff has been around so long that if you really start to think about it, you start feeling like you are watching first 30 minutes of The Tree of Life and wonderi
