From June 28th to July 4th
June 28, 1919 - - The signing of the Treaty of Versailles formally ended World War I. According to the terms, Germany was assessed sole blame for the war, forced to give up Alsace-Lorraine and overseas colonies, and pay reparations of $15 billion. The treaty also prohibited German rearmament.
June 29, 1972 - - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled (5-4) that capital punishment was a violation of the Eighth Amendment prohibiting 'cruel and unusual punishment.' The decision spared the lives of 600 individuals then sitting on death row. Four years later, in another ruling, the Court reversed itself and determined the death penalty was not cruel and unusual punishment. On October 4, 1976, the ban was lifted on the death penalty in cases involving murder.
June 30, 1971 - - In Hong Kong, the flag of the British Crown Colony was officially lowered at midnight and replaced by a new flag representing China's sovereignty and the official transfer of power.
July 1, 1862 - - President Abraham Lincoln signed the first income tax bill, levying a 3% income tax on annual incomes of $600 - $10,000 and a 5% tax on incomes over $10,000. Also on this day, the Bureau of Internal Revenue was established by an act of Congress.
July 2, 1788 - - Congress announced the United States Constitution had been ratified by the required nine states and that a committee had been appointed to make preparations for the new American government.
July 3, 1976 - - The raid on Entebbe airport in Uganda occurred as an Israeli commando unit rescued 103 hostages on a hijacked Air France airliner. The jet had been en route from Tel Aviv to Paris when it was hijacked by pro-Palestinian guerillas. Three hostages, seven hijackers and twenty Ugandan soldiers were killed during the rescue.
July 4, 1863 - - Vicksburg, the last Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi River, surrendered to General Grant and the Army of the West after a six week siege. With the Union in control of the Mississippi, the Confederacy was effectively split in two, cut off from its western allies.

Have You Ever Heard the Phrase, 'To Throw a Monkey Wrench in the Machinery?'
"To gum up the works; to place an obstacle or hindrance into a project or undertaking; to interfere, or cause confusion or disaster. Undoubtedly this literally described an act of sabotage when it was first used - - .
Even though the source of the name of the implement is not certain, there is good reason to thin it American, as well as the implement itself. The tool was known in 1858 and Dr. M.M. Mathews, writing in American Speech (February, 1953), refers to an item that appeared in the Boston Transcript sometime in the winter of 1932-33, which credits the invention to a man named Monk, in 1856, employed by Bemis & Call of Springfield, Massachusetts. The item adds that the wrench was first called Monk's Wrench, later jocularly turned into monkey's wrench. But Dr. Matthew makes it clear that he has no confirmation of this tale."
"As I was walking through a variety store, I stopped at the pet department to look at some parakeets. In one cage a green bird lay on his back, one foot hooked oddly into the cage wire. I was about to alert the saleswoman to the bird's plight when I noticed a sign taped to the cage: 'No, I am not sick. No, I am not dead. No, my leg is not stuck in the cage. I just like to sleep this way."
History of the Florida State Flag
"Florida's official flag was adopted in 1900. The flag represents the land of sunshine, flowers, palm trees, rivers and lakes. It has a red cross of St. Andrew on a white field; in the center is the state seal, which depicts a Native American (Seminole) woman scattering flowers, the sun with many rays, palm trees (the large one is a cabbage palm), a sailing steamboat, the land and the water."
Here's Some more 'Myth Information"
"We've all heard about the great Chicago Fire of October 8, 1871. Well despite the popular legends that great first was not started by Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicking over a lantern while being milked. Even though an official board of inquiry was conducted by the Chicago Fire Department, the real cause of the fire was never determined.
It is true that the fire started somewhere behind the house of Patrick and Catherine O'Leary. However it was much too late at night for anyone to be out milking a cow. It is also known that when a neighbor discovered the blaze, the O'Learys were already asleep.
The familiar story about the cow kicking over a lantern first appeared in a newspaper account written by Michael Aherns shortly after the fire. However, Aherns later admitted just before his death that he had actually fabricated the story in order to create interest in his original account.
Few buildings survived the inferno, which killed about 250 people and destroyed over seventeen thousand buildings in a five-mile-long path of destruction. One building that was left standing was the home of Pat and Kate O'Leary."(Myth Information by J. Allen Varasdi)
