The last execution for witchcraft in Germany was in 1775.  The inaugural concert at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw was in 1888.  Fifty-one tornadoes in six states on Palm Sunday in 1965 left 256 people dead.  Three hundred police and 65 civilians were injured during riots in Brixton in 1981.

Born today:  Peter Riegert (1947), Neville Staple (1955), Stuart Adamson (1958-2001), Jeremy Clarkson (1960) and Anton Glanzelius, the cute little boy from Mitt liv som hund, turns 36 today.  Boy do I feel old.

It is Juan Santamaría Day in Costa Rica.
