October 15th


1793: Queen Marie-Antoinette of France is tried and condemned in a swift, pre-determined trial… kind of like fat people on American Idol.


1951: Mexican chemist Luis E. Miramontes invents oral contraceptives… sadly this came too late to avoid Luis E. Miramontes Jr.


1966: The Black Panther Party is created by Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, and the Oakland Raiders.
