A quite mixed bag as far as things that happened on this day in history. Firstly, in 1928 Walt Disney presented his Steamboat Willie to an awestruck crowd (here’s the original version, which includes several scenes cut from later showings like Mickey, look out for the ‘pig’ scene, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RexXDDA8RoI&NR=1 ).
Changing the mood, the Jonestown Massacre took place on this day in 1978 when the Reverend Jim Jones encouraged all of the members of his cult to drink poisoned Flavour-Ade.
Well, here’s the latest cryptozoology news:
