On this day in history:

-

1689 – Royal assent is given to the Bill of Rights, enumerating certain rights in England. 1773 – The Boston Tea Party. 1843 – John T. Graves announced the discovery of octonions to William Hamilton ,. 1907 – The Great White Fleet began circumnavigating the world 1937 – Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe vanished forever from Alcatraz in what is described as an attempted escape by the usual sources. 1947 – The first practical point-contact transistor was built. 1968 – The Second Vatican Council in an arrogant and fatuous act of political theater claimed to have revoked the Edict of Expulsion of Jews from Spain. This was preposterously stupid and ineffectual both because the expulsion was long moot, having occurred in 1492 and because the Vatican had no power whatsoever to revoke it, since it was issued not by the Papacy but by Ferdinand and Isabella. 1979 – Libya and four other OPEC nations raised crude oil prices, driving the US batshit crazy
