Martyrs' Day: Riots over Sovereignty of Panama Canal Zone (1964)
Martyrs' Day is a Panamanian holiday commemorating the 1964 riots that began after a Panamanian flag was torn in a conflict between Panamanian and Canal Zone students over the right of the Panamanian flag to be flown alongside the US flag. US Army units became involved in suppressing the violence, and 4 soldiers and more than 20 Panamanians were killed. The incident contributed to the US decision to transfer control of the Canal Zone to Panama.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
Black Friday Fires in Victoria, Australia (1939)
One of Australia's worst natural disasters took place in January 1939, when bushfires broke out in the state of Victoria. Over the course of several days, fires burned nearly 5 million acres of land, killing 71 people, destroying thousands of homes and businesses, and ravaging entire towns. An extremely hot and dry summer had preceded the fires, and the day they broke out, temperatures in Melbourne soared to a record 114.1 °F

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
Body of Elizabeth Short—the "Black Dahlia"—Found (1947)
Elizabeth Short was the victim of a gruesome and much-publicized murder that is still unsolved. Nicknamed the "Black Dahlia" by newspapers after her body was recovered in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, Short was found mutilated, her body severed at the waist. The unsolved murder has been the source of widespread speculation, leading to several books and film adaptations, as well as many false confessions and leads in the years since she was killed.

College football (now) history:

Of the top 100 highest pass rating seasons by QBs, here 's how many that happened pre-2000 and were at P5 schools:
Six.
.
Who are they?
95 Wuerffel @ Florida (178)
99 Hamilton @ GA Tech (175)
94 Collins @ Penn St (173)
96 Wuerffel @ Florida (170)
95 Hoying @ Ohio St (170)
98 Smith @ Oregon (170)
.
Yes, that means no P5 QB has a top-100 passer rating season before 1994, due to the modern high-volume, high-efficiency passing games of the last 20 years.
Wow.
.
For fun, I altered these few seasons to what they would look like, given "best-QB-season-ever" Joe Burrow's 527 attempts in 2019.  The comp, att, yds, TDs, and INTs (counting stats) are altered, while the rate stats (comp %, pass rating) are not.
Just taking a break from creating orders for WN.
.
95 Wuerffel:  340 comp on 527 att for 5,281 yds and 57 TDs - 16 Int (178 pass rating)
99 Hamilton:  350 comp on 527 att for 5,285 yds and 50 TDs - 19 Int (175)
94 Collins:  351 comp on 527 att for 5,347 yds and 42 TDs - 14 Int (173)
96 Wuerffel:  303 comp on 527 att for 5,303 yds and 57 TDs - 19 Int (170)
95 Hoying:  334 comp on 527 att for 5,257 yds and 49 TDs - 19 Int (170)
98 Akili Smith:  310 comp on 527 att for 5,361 yds and 49 TDs - 11 Int (170)
.
The point of this isn't to say any of these player seasons was as good as Burrow's (they weren't, his rating was 202), just that their seasons were insanely good and just as bombastic if given the pass attempts. 
Also shows how the passing game explosion has been TOTAL, when only 6 of the top 100 passer seasons happened pre-2000, and none of the top 37.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
Captain James Cook Crosses Antarctic Circle (1773)
An explorer, navigator, and map maker, Cook sailed the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779 and, with the help of new timekeeping instruments, drew the first accurate navigational maps of the area. He became the one of the first people to cross the Antarctic Circle as well as the first European to land on the Hawaiian islands, where he may have been identified by native Hawaiians as the representation of their god Lono.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

Sten Sture the Younger Mortally Wounded in Battle (1520)
Sture was a Swedish statesman and regent of Sweden. When he refused to recognize Christian II of Denmark as king of Sweden, Christian sent a force to aid Sture's rival, Archbishop Gustaf Trolle, whom Sture had deposed and who was besieged in his castle. Sture defeated the Danish army and imprisoned Trolle. Warfare continued, and Sture was killed in battle, but not before he paved the way for Swedish independence, which was attained under Gustavus I.
