American cartoon published after the First World War (July 1919) showing 'Germany's Future Generations' drinking from the bottle of 'revenge'. Chillingly prophetic. The cartoon was drawn by William Charles Morris with the title 'Why We Must Have a League of Nations'. Not sure where it was first published - Morris worked for several New York-based newspapers in 1919 (this scan comes from the July 5, 1919 issue of the Evening Mail in Canada, I'm assuming a reprint). It appears Germany is trying to do this once again, right now. You could also replace Germany with Israel right now.

May 31, 1961: Richard Anthony Monsour (May 4, 1937 – March 16, 2019) Dick Dale "The King of the Surf Guitar" invents surf music with "Let's Go Trippin'" often regarded as the first surf rock instrumental and is credited for launching the surf music craze. Dale also worked with Fender Guitars to produce custom amps.

Dale was one of the most influential guitarists of all time and especially of the early 1960s. Most of the leading bands in surf music, such as The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean and The Trashmen, were influenced by Dale's music, and often included recordings of Dale's songs in their albums. His style and music influenced guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, Eddie Van Halen and Brian May. At the time of his death, Dale had tour dates scheduled into November 2019. The use of his recording of "Misirlou" by Quentin Tarantino in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction led to his return in the 1990s, marked by four albums and world tours.

There are also Arabic belly dancing, Albanian, Armenian, Serbian, Persian, Indian and Turkish versions of the song. This song was popular from the 1920s onwards in the Arab American, Armenian American and Greek American communities who settled in the United States. You can find many "Misirlou" versions on Youtube from the 1920s to present.

May 31, 1950: Cecil B. DeMille's Great Spectacle 'Sampson and Delilah'
"Spectacle, when spelled cut by DeMille, has the planned violence of an atomic burst."




May 31, 1975: A new children’s series presented by Jimmy Savile, "Jim’ll Fix It" debuts on BBC1. Children write to Jimmy Savile asking him to make a dream come true for them on national television. At its peak, the series had 15 million viewers. The production team opened almost 5,000 letters a day, 20,000 letters a week and upwards of 250,000 letters a year. It lasted 32 years with 300 episodes.


Allegations surfaced in 2012 that Jimmy Savile sexually abused some of the children who took part in the show, including suggestions that special episodes were devised by Savile in order to gain access to victims. Producer Roger Ordish said, "I didn't see anything and nothing was reported to me", but added that he knew Savile had a "predilection for younger females". Reflecting on his own time producing the show, Ordish added, "It's of no significance really compared to the terrible things that happened to the victims, but in retirement, people say: 'What did you do?'. I'd say: 'I was a BBC producer ... Jim'll Fix It, I did that for 20 years', and you used to get a wonderful reaction. Now it's something I can't mention, you're ashamed of it."

Roger Ordish later recalled that he had advised Bill Cotton to choose a different presenter, saying "That was nothing to do with Jimmy Savile's moral behaviour, it had to do with his ability to communicate with young people. He did openly say: 'I hate children.'" In hindsight, I'm sure many wish to forget this show ever existed. If John Wayne Gacy was British I'm sure he would of had a huge show on BBC.

The competition sees a group of contestants dropped into an isolated location (in this case, Borneo) to complete a number of challenges.

Meanwhile, 48 seasons & 25 years later the show is somehow still airing with the same host.
