October 31st


1517: Martin Luther posts his 95 theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. His list is squeezed right between the witch burning poster and a call to kill more Jews.


1822: Emperor Agustín de Iturbide attempts to dissolve the Mexican Empire... by opening a restaurant on the U.S. border that pays $4.85 per hour.


1864: Nevada is admitted as the 36th U.S. state. The nation's whores and cash-strapped politicians rejoice.
