Bleah. Second time on the blog and VBScript error bites already. Eeew... Anyway, this day in history, Jan 8 will be remebered for George Bush Sr falling ill and vomiting on a Japanese prime minister. Go check The PBS site if you don't believe me... and by the time it finally was posted the tempis fugitted and we were already in thursday 9 Jan... 8 Jan in SA history finds the formation of the ANC in 1908, and the English takeover of the Cape in 1806. Further afield, the Vikings stormed Lindisfarne on that day in 794. And yes, on this day the first computer was patented by Hollerith. This is also the birthday of Elvis in 1935, David Bowie in 1947, Robbie Krieger and Shirley Bassey. Thanks, ladies & gents.
