Happy Administrative Professionals Day!


Yes, that's right. We can't call it 'Secretaries Day' any more.

Oh, well... there were lots of other fun things that happened...

On This Day in History

On this day in 1500, Pedro Álvares Cabral became the first European to sight Brazil. Just one short year ago, Brazilian soccer great Ronaldo "knew they were prostitutes, but didn't know they were men." Mmhmm. In any event, to both men we owe a great debt of gratitude...



On this day in 1836, General Antonio López de Santa Anna was captured by Texan forces under the command of Sam Houston. One day after the decisive battle of San Jacinto, Houston's men found the cowardly Santa Anna, on the run, and wearing women's underwear. Well, I guess technically he was just wearing silk boxers, but you know how they are down in Texas. Thus began Texas' [brief] period of independence, and simultaneously its obnoxious superiority complex.

Well, that's it for April 22 in history... Happy Earth Day!!
