January 21:

Rejoice, Elliquians - Today was the date on which the first American novel was published, inaugurating a fine literary tradition we here are a humble, brave part of.

And on a note more to my personal liking, this was the date on which Louis XVI, king of France, got the chop, inaugurating a horrific chapter of self-righteous bourgeois bloodshed that would crest and ebb until the tsunami of human gore we lovingly call "The Napoleonic Wars."

Tune in tomorrow for more 'Today in History'.

Hoho, and here I thought American and fine literature never went hand in hand.

Mr S is just jealous because they still rely on cave drawings in Sweden. *grins* 
you were never able to keep me breathing as the water rises up again

True, but since it's cave drawings of naked blonds it's all good.

Swede, you should have made a point of the fact that the Nobel Price for Literature is awarded by Sweden...

Sweden writes? Is it printed on paper, or etched in chocolate.

That's Switzerland. Totally different place.

A good thing too! Where would America be today, for example, if it didn't have the ability to blow things to pieces? It wouldn't be a world I'd recognize, that's for sure.

Anyway, I feel I am about to hijack the thread, so I'll be quiet now.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Really? I just always assumed he was American, with the things he says and everything. :)
I had no idea he was british.

You know, it is kind of funny. Although I personally do not feel anything one way or another about the word, calling someone a "Yank" in the southern US ((Where I live)) can get you into a fight :P

So I got the chocolate stereotype mixed up with the wrong nation, and in turn had my own mistaken. Another day in the Off Topic board I guess  ;D
