AI Overview





Kali Yuga, the current "Age of Darkness" in Hindu cosmology, began at midnight on February 17/18, 3102 BCE, following Lord Krishna's departure. It has a total duration of 432,000 years, with roughly 5,125+ years elapsed as of 2023–2024, leaving over 426,000 years remaining in this cycle of moral decline.

Just watch the musical Hamilton, it's got all the biography of Aaron Burr you'll ever need.
I was forced to do so recently.  I want more deets.

That play obviously, um, fell flat with me, I still don't understand why it is so highly regarded, but that's on me.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

The Station Nightclub Fire (2003)
Moments after the band Great White took the stage at the Station nightclub in Rhode Island, sparks from one of the group's pyrotechnic devices—of which the nightclub was unaware—ignited the highly flammable sound insulation around the stage. The nightclub, which had no sprinklers, was engulfed in minutes, trapping many inside. One hundred people were killed, making it one of the deadliest nightclub fires in US history.

Georgia vs. Oklahoma A&M at Sanford Stadium on October 19, 1946
Notice the "Track Fans" on the railroad tracks, and legendary Charley Trippi (No. 62, behind the official) on the field.
In Georgia's 33-13 win over Oklahoma A&M, the versatile Trippi completed 4 of 5 passes, caught 2 passes, rushed 5 times, returned 2 kickoffs, punted for nearly a 40-yard average, and intercepted 2 passes, returning one for a 70-yard touchdown.

I think I was a freshman, but I can't recollect for sure ....

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
The Creation of the Peace Symbol (1958)
Historically, the idea of peace has been represented by symbols that attempt to transcend differences of culture, such as the white dove, the olive branch, and the broken rifle. The now-familiar line-drawing of a crow's foot in a circle was created specifically for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament by British artist Gerald Holtom, but it quickly caught on as a general, international sign for peace.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY: provided by The Free Dictionary  Archive >>

Jeanne Calment (1875)
At the age of 100, Calment was still riding a bicycle around her native Arles, France. She lived on her own until she was 110 and smoked until she was 117. She saw the Eiffel Tower being built and remembered selling colored pencils to Vincent van Gogh as a girl in her family's shop. By the time she died in 1997 at the age of 122, Calment had lived the longest confirmed human life in history
