Hippie!!!! Did you look closely at the thumbnail on the history video? Margaret Thatcher nearly revealed that she's a Vulcan!!!

And I've clarified one event in your post...

10-13-1792   In Washington, D.C., the cornerstone of the United States Executive Mansion (known as the White House since 1818) is laid. The act would become the single most productive solicitation for a donation proffered by White House construction fund campaign head, and former brothel owner, Eileen Bach. 

And now back to my contributions...

10-13-1970   An infant Madelaine McMasters spups on her father's shoulder after an overzealous feeding, causing him to spup into the kitchen sink (true!)

10-13-1993    A typographical error in the Firstar Bank (now US Bank) downtown Milwaukee branch phone directory causes its Public Finance department to be flooded with prank phone calls (also true!)

Spups? New one for me.

There's a scene in an old Michael J. Fox movie called "For Love or Money" in which he is driving the intoxicated girlfriend of his employer (there's also, of course, some interest between MJ and the girlfriend, but what would movies be without that?) home from a party and she makes him stop along the road because she has to be sick. He gets out too, and while she's puking onto the beach he's doing likewise behind the car. She asks if he also drank too much. He replies that he's a 'sympathetic vomiter'.

I was watching that with two members of my family, both of whom burst out laughing since that describes me perfectly. Doesn't matter who it is, either. Kids, cats, dogs, whatever. They upchuck and I'm in trouble.

10-14-2013    Sixty five years to the day after pilot Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier in his X-1 rocket plane, pilot and parajumper Felix Baumgartner breaks the sound barrier wearing nothing but his spacesuit and a parachute when he jumps from a balloon at an altitude of over 128,000 feet. Flight consultant Joe Kittinger, who held the previous record, set in 1960, teased Baumgartner after his parachute deployed by issuing radio updates on wind conditions that were downright confusing. "The winds are 10-15 knots from the EAST... no, make that 10-15 knots from the WEST" quipped Kittinger. "Now they're blowing FROM the ridge... no, make that INTO the ridge." A giggling Baumgartner shot back, "Stop it Joe, you're making me spit all over my visor!!!". Buzz Lightyear welcomed Baumgartner upon landing saying "Now that's falling with style!"
