Drewsky1211 4,744 Posted July 4, 2018 On this day in 1826, two men who wrote the Declaration of Independence together passed away (exactly 50 years later). They were also a President-Vice President duo, and one of them claimed the other "still survived". Unknown to him, he had died a few hours earlier, and the news hadn't reached him yet. Those two people were John Adams (90) and Thomas Jefferson (83). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,397 Posted July 8, 2018 Kim Il-Sung was promoted from Supreme Leader to (dead) Eternal President of North Korea on this day 24 years ago, aged 82. For political reasons, I must point out that Kim Il-Sung was a Leader so dear and great and was the perfect incarnation of the appearance that a leader should have and was a glorious general who descended from heaven who has now ascended back there to enrich it but will eternally remain a superior person in the hearts of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea and I want to live please. Look how brilliant the man is/was/is. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 9, 2018 U.S. Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo died 80 years ago, age 68. Less importantly he has a law school named after him (Yeshiva Univ) More importantly he wrote landmark decisions both while a justice in New York and once he was appointed to SCOTUS that created the concept of 'proximate causation' that is followed in our negligence/tort law to this day.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 9, 2018 Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay, my, oh, my, what a wonderful day... until he died 70 years ago today. Apparently that wasn't a bluebird on his shoulder back on July 9, 1948, it was the Grim Reaper telling (Uncle Remus) James Baskett to get in his caskett. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
