It’s my birthday. I’m 25. Yes, that makes me a quarter of a century old. Yes, it sucks. =P
November 12, 1982:
- US performs nuclear test at Nevada Test Site.
- USSR KGB-chief Yuri V Andropov succeeds Leonid Brezhnev as USSR leader
- Zaheer Abbas gets his 100th 100 in Test Cricket v India, goes to 215
- Lech Wałęsa, a Solidarity leader, is released from a Polish prison after eleven months.

Happy B-Day Eric,
In November of ‘82 I was doing logistics planning at Camp Lejeune, NC. Don’t remind me that it was 25 years ago.

I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one who is entertained by ‘this day in history’ facts. I put up a ‘this day in history’ widget on my blog and I don’t think it’s even close to the number one clicked link, which made me wonder if people just don’t care. So thanks for the entertaining history.
