Happy July, Losers.

Well, I figured it was probably my duty to welcome the new month in, on account of the fact that most you of dudes have been keeping a low profile lately. Here are some interesting facts about July:

  • On this day in 1963, the government introduced the zip code. If you didn't know, zip is actually an acronym for "zone improvement plan".
  • July 16, 1951 saw the release of Salinger's timeless Catcher in the Rye.
  • July 4, 1776. Nothing Much.
  • July 20, 1969. First moon landing. Probably fake.
Dazzle your party guests with your astounding intellect and reservoir of useless trivia. But don't rattle this off to me or I'll call you out on it. Jerks.

EDIT: As the man who knows everyones birthday has pointed out, the moon landing actually occured on 7/20/69, not 7/20/60 as previously reported. In the future, I promise to be more careful when I copy dates from wikipedia.

Uhhhh, the first moon landing was in 1969. You might want to change that before anybody else sees it.

Meh, I'm pretty sure you're the only other person who reads this thing. But just in case....
