Decius just pointed out that MemeStreams turned five years old recently, and none of us remembered to say anything about it...MemeStreams was first openned to the public on December 5th, 2001, so December 5th, 2006 was MemeStreams' 5th birthday. I'm sorry I didn't think of this until now. We're certainly not the media moguls that we thought we'd be when we started this thing, but its kept our attention and interest for a long time mostly because of all of the other people who hang out here who have interesting things to say and contribute. We thank all of you for being a part of it. Here's to another interesting 5 years!
We should have waited two days to go live with the site.. We could have made tasteless jokes about the day living in infamy. However, according to Wikipedia, we do have some things we can use for bad jokes: 1848 - California Gold Rush: In a message before the U.S. Congress, US President James K. Polk confirms that large amounts of gold had been discovered in California. 1933 - Prohibition ends: Utah becomes the 36th U.S. state to ratify the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution, thus establishing the required 75% of states needed to enact the amendment (this overturned the 18th Amendment which had outlawed alcohol in the United States). 1945 - Flight 19 is lost in the Bermuda Triangle.
Walt Disney was also born.. MemeStreams 5th Birthday |
