Hey Guys,
Really new to the site, but I'm a huge history buff (Majored in it in college) and I'm a bit obsessive over the stupidest little facts about history. So here we go. On this day in history, December 4th:
1563: The final session of the Council of Trent was held, issuing one of the largest reformations in the history of the Catholic Church.
1791: The first issue of The Observer was printed, making it the World's first Sunday paper. It's still in circulation to this day.
1954: The first Burger King opened in Miami, Florida.
1980: Led Zeppelin announced their official break up. (Drummer, John Bonham, had died in September.
1991: Pan American Airways flew its final flight and ceased operations.
Famous persons born on December 4th include:
1949: Jeff Bridges, Academy Award winning Actor.
1969: Shawn Carter, now known as the rapper and producer, Jay-Z.
Famous persons dying on December 4th include:
1679: Thomas Hobbes, English philosopher largely credited as one of the founders of modern political philosophy.
1993: Frank Zappa, One of the greatest musicians and composers of the 20th Century.
Hope this isn't a tl;dr for anyone. Let me know if you like this and I'll post more like it for other days of the year.
