Wannaskan Almanac for Tuesday, January 3, 2023 News and Views You Won't Find Anywhere Else

Hi faithful and gullible readers!  Today we are going to look back at all the things that happened in history on January 3rd.  There will be no sarcastic or demeaning additions by Mr. Hot Coco.  Only the truth.  That is crazy enough.

1496 Leonardo da Vinci unsuccessfully tests a flying machine.  Luckily his other invention, a parachute, did manage to work.  He survived the 2 and a half foot fall with no injuries.  The flying machine was later repurposed into an espresso machine, which succeeded at the ability to get off using the grounds.

1521  Martin Luther was excommunicated by Pope Leo X.  What actually happened was that Leo decided to unfriend Luther on Facebook.  This made Luther so mad that he nailed a paper called 95 things I don't like about you to the door at the Castle Church in Wittenberg.  Then Luther ran off and started a new denomination.  I am not sure what that denomination was.  

1977 Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs incorporate Apple Computers.  Somehow Steve Reynolds did not financially benefit from this.  All other Steves seemed to be involved, but Steve Reynolds was too busy working on his Tandy.

And that is it.  Nothing else has ever happened on January 3rd according to the good people at Encyclopedia Britannica and verified by Wikipedia.  As readers of my article are known to say, "What a boring and uneventful day!"
