On June 1st in years past, these awesome historical things happened!

2002: Despite several pleas by his fellow sales team members to not do so, Ronald Bransfield re-invents the wheel during a meeting RE: the quarterly sales strategy.

1985: Writer Stephen King wins the Nobel Prize in Literature for Christine, which the Nobel Committee praises as being “scary as shit.”

1938: The first issue of Action Comics, debuting the character of Superman, was published. And, in this first adventure, Superman, who would not be given the power of flight until a few issues later, could only walk or run and, instead of being invulnerable to bullets, he could be greatly harmed by them, even potentially killed.

1909: A 20-year-old Adolf Hitler applies to architectural school with his blueprint for a proposed hotel. He is rejected because, as the admissions officials of Der Arkiteture Uffenheimer wrote, “if built as designed, the structure implied by the applicant’s blueprint would resemble not as much a hotel as an army of millions of soldiers killing Jews.”
