Abraham Lincoln's Assassination

Seven score and eleven years have passed since Good Friday 1865, when President Abraham Lincoln was shot while attending a play at Ford's Theatre. In the time of mourning, a large number of Christians, especially in the North, had some type of recognition to the Good Friday connection. Lincoln became the first of four sitting American president to be assassinated: Abraham Lincoln (16th President), James A. Garfield (20th President), William McKinley (25th President) and John F. Kennedy (35th President).

Deal or No Deal

Deal or No Deal was a game show hosted by Howie Mandel, and premiered on December 19, 2005, on NBC. The hour-long show typically aired at least twice a week during its run, and included special extended or theme episodes. A daily syndicated half-hour version of the show debuted on September 8, 2008 and continued for two seasons.

Since it became a regular series, Deal or No Deal consistently placed within the 20 most popular programs on television.

10K Race

One kilometer converts to .62 miles. Therefore, a 10K race is the equivalent of 6.2 miles. The kilometer is the primary measurement unit for expressing large distances throughout most of the world, though the United States still uses the mile as its standard. The popularity of 10K races lies in the fact that, for most adults, the 10K distance is long enough to represent a challenge but short enough to remain accessible for an untrained runner. For a real world comparison, you would have to run a football field (including the end zone) 91.14 times to complete a 10K.

Wrigley Field: Home of Chicago Cubs

Wrigley Field is a baseball park located on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois. It is the home of the 2016 World Series winning Chicago Cubs. The Cubs played their first home game there in 1916 on April 20, defeating the Cincinnati Reds. Chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. acquired complete control of the Cubs by 1921. Wrigley Field is known for its ivy-covered brick outfield wall, the iconic red marquee over the main entrance, the hand-turned scoreboard, and for being the last major league park to have lights installed for play after dark, in 1988.

Hardest Working Man in Show Business

The Godfather of Soul, the inventor of funk, and the grandfather of hip-hop, James Brown had many titles in life yet none truly do justice to his monumental impact on music. Brown performed five or six nights a week throughout the 1950s and '60s, a schedule that earned him the title "The Hardest-Working Man in Show Business." Brown would routinely lose two or three pounds each time he performed and kept his furious concert schedule in his later years even as he fought prostate cancer.

Dewey Beats Truman in Presidential Election?

Perhaps the most famous incorrect banner headline in history is “Dewey Defeats Truman” which was published on the front page of the Chicago Tribune on November 3, 1948, the day after incumbent President Harry Truman won an upset victory over the Republican Governor of New York, Thomas E. Dewey, in the presidential election. In one of history's most iconic photographs, Truman can be seen holding the famous issue of the newspaper soon after winning the election.

Roberto Clemente

He led the National League in batting four times during the 1960s, and starred in the 1971 World Series. Renowned for his humanitarian work, he died in a plane crash on December 31, 1972, en route to bringing supplies to survivors of an earthquake in Nicaragua.

Spruce Goose

On November 2, 1947, Howard Hughes piloted his huge wooden airplane, the Spruce Goose, on its only flight, which lasted about a minute over Long Beach Harbor in California. Built with laminated birch and spruce, the massive wooden aircraft had a wingspan longer than a football field and was designed to carry more than 700 men to battle. Completed in 1947, it was flown only once and never went into production. It is currently housed in the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.
