gnomiToday is the birthday of:

-- Joshua Malina
-- Jim Carrey
-- Muhammad Ali
-- James Earl Jones
-- Betty White
-- Some claim today as the birthday of Joshua A. Norton, first and only emperor of the United States
-- Al Capone
-- Benjamin Franklin
Among the events that occurred on this day:

-- 1966: A B-52 bomber collides with a KC-135 jet tanker over Spain, dropping three 70-kiloton hydrogen bombs near the town of Palomares and another one into the sea.
-- 1971: The Baltimore Colts (now the Indianapolis Colts) beat the Dallas Cowboys 16-13 in Superbowl V.
-- 1977: Gary Gilmore put to death.
-- 1991: Operation Desert Storm begins early in the morning. Iraq fires 8 Scud missiles into Israel in an unsuccessful bid to provoke Israeli retaliation.
-- 2006: California executes Clarence Ray Allen, the oldest man on the state's Death Row.
Natural disasters seem to occur on this date:

-- 1995: A magnitude 7.3 earthquake near Kobe, Japan
-- 2002: Mount Nyiragongo erupts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, displacing an estimated 400,000 people.
