    Today in 2002 was the list's best day. We didn't get one, not two, but THREE hits on the day of March 27, 2002. They were Dudley Moore (66), Milton Berle (93), and Billy Wilder (95).

    On this day in 1770, a fight broke out on the streets of Boston. Citizens pelted snowballs and oyster shells at British officers as tensions grew. One of the soldiers mistakenly heard "fire" and shot into the crowd that had gathered. 5 civilians were killed on that fateful night: Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks, and Patrick Carr. This famous engraving by Paul Revere made sure that revolution was imminent.

    Although Leonard Nimoy prospered, 83 doesn't seem too long-lived. When he died 3 years ago today, 83 was pretty average.
