WHAT HAPPENED IN 1966...

I was talking to a friend recently who told me about things that had happened the year he was born. It got me wondering about the year I was born, so I googled it. Thank you, All Mighty Internet! Here are some highlights of that all-important year in history:

• 01/07: Operation Crimp begins in Vietnam.
• 01/12: Batman the tv series debuts.
• 03/04: John Lennon makes the statement, "We (the Beatles) are more popular than Jesus."
• 04/30: Anton LaVey founds the Church of Satan.
• 05/16: Cultural Revolution is started by Mao Zedong and the Communist Party in China.
• 06/13: Supreme Court rules in Miranda v. Arizona that police must inform suspects of their rights before questioning.
• 06/27: Dark Shadows debuts on ABC.
  
• 08/23: Lunar Orbiter 1 takes the first photo of Earth.
• 09/13: THE most important day of the year, duh!
  
• 10/06: LSD is declared illegal in the US.
• 10/22: The Supremes become the first all-female group to have a #1 selling album.
  
• 11/08: Edward Brooke becomes first African-American elected to US Senate.
• 11/30: Barbados becomes independent.
• 12/16: Mao's Little Red Book is published in Beijing.

I also know of one more thing that happened that year. My mom told me that the doctor was worried that he would miss the premiere of the new show, The Girl From U.N.C.L.E., if her labor took too long. Luckily, I was in a hurry to arrive. Seems like I've always been considerate.
