#276: Happy Birthday, Marty and Marine Corps

Yessiree, Bob...today in 1483 Martin Luther got his little tushy smacked by some Kraut physician to begin a life that led to The Reformation and an overturning of the world for centuries to come. Nice work, Momma Luther and Herr Doktor!! I'll drink to that with some knockwurst (did little Marty get "knocked for the wurst" that day?!) ;P

The Marine Corps...OOORAH, OOORAH...came into being on this day in 1775. Notice that it existed before the Declaration of Independence was signed and The USofA was declared free and clear of nasty old England! (Oh, the proper pronunciation of "USofA" sounds like "Mustapha" (a good Islamic name) or "YouSapha"..."Sapha" being a local dialectical pronunciation of Suffer...in these editorial blurbs that may or may not change anything. If you can't figger out why, click on the url for my gmail and ask.)

Well, the work day needs to start. I've got trees to cut and firewood to create. It's gonna be a long, cold winter this year...probably brought about by Global Warming and wooly bear caterpillars' habits of coloration.
