In 585 BC a solar eclipse occured, as predicted by the Greek philosopher and scientist Thales, leading to a cessation of hostilities in the Battle of Halys. This is one of the cardinal dates from which other historical dates can be calculated [which has nothing to do with the usage of ordinal VS cardinal in case you were wondering]. In 621 Li Shimin defeated the numerically superior forces of Dou Jiande, winning the Battle of Hulao, which decides the outcome of the civil war that followed the Sui dynasty's collapse in favor of the Tang dynasty. In 1588 the Spanish Armada, with 130 ships and 30,000 men, set sail from Lisbon heading for the English Channel (It will take until May 30 for all ships to leave port). In 1964 the Palestine Liberation Organization is formed. In 1959 two monkeys become the first living creatures to survive space flight. in 1988 the first Rolling Thunder demonstration hilighted the plight of MIA/POWs from the Vietnam War.
I am positive your mother, like mine, exhorted you to always wear decent, clean underwear when you left the house -- I mean, what if you had an accident? You didn't want the emergency responders and the hospital staff to see soiled and/or torn garb, now did you? And you didn't want the newspaper commenting on the state of your underwear, right? Right.
