STRANGE BUT TRUE

* At just 15 years old, actor Sylvester Stallone’s classmates voted him “most likely to end up in the electric chair.”

* One day in 1930, the BBC announced on air that “there is no news,” and played piano music.

* Fulmars, a type of seabird, vomit putrid fishy oil on predatory birds in self-defense, which not only smells awful but is lethal to the attackers, as it permanently glues their feathers together.

* If viewed from space or a high altitude, the sun appears to be white.

* Larry Lemieux, a Canadian sailor at the 1988 Olympics, was about to win a silver medal when he abandoned the race to save two other competitors whose boat had capsized. While he lost the silver medal, he was given the Pierre de Coubertin medal for sportsmanship.

* A hydrangea flower’s color is determined by the relative acidity of the soil in which it’s grown: Acidic soil will produce a blue flower, while alkaline soil will yield a pink blossom.

* The Sami people of Northern Finland have a unit of measurement called the “poronkusema”-- the distance a reindeer can walk before it needs to urinate.

* Had a solar eruption happened nine days earlier than it did in 2012, the Earth would have been hit by a massive solar storm that would likely have caused major X-ray and UV radiation and power failure over the planet. It also would likely have cost trillions of dollars and taken four to10 years to recover from. Timing really is everything!

* The hotel that inspired Stephen King to write “The Shining” plays the Stanley Kubrick film of the same name on a continuous loop on channel 42 for guests.

Sights From 148th Preakness Weekend At Pimlico

It was only a few years ago the prospect of Pimlico being razed and either rebuilt or flat out shuttered was a distinct possibility, but this year’s 148th running of the Preakness Stakes came with the new hope that a new wave of refurbishment might breathe new life into the historic structure that saw its first horse race in 1870.

This year’s edition arrived with growing excitement for another Triple Crown contender in Mage and the seal of approval from 1/ST Racing CEO Aidan Butler that the preferred course of action moving forward was to make Old Hilltop the predominant year-round racing facility, with an uncertain future for Laurel Park Racecourse.

While the Triple Crown buzz ended with Mage’s third-place finish Saturday, many of the 65,000 fans who attended the weekend’s festivities held on through a late afternoon downpour. The storm arrived shortly after National Treasure’s win, but the music lovers remained to enjoy the Bruno Mars concert that capped events at the track in the Park Heights section of Baltimore.

MOMENTS IN TIME

The History Channel

* On June 6, 1884, philanthropist and businessman George Williams co-founded the Young Mens Christian Association, or YMCA, with the aim of creating a supportive community for men like himself to address societal challenges.

* On June 9, 1902, Woodrow Wilson was elected president of Princeton University, holding the office until resigning in 1910 to run for governor of New Jersey. Wilson had graduated from the university in 1879 before studying law at the University of Virginia, then earning a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. He remains the sole U.S. president to have received a doctoral degree.

* On June 7, 1939, George VI and Elizabeth I became the first king and queen of Great Britain to travel to the United States, where they met with President Franklin D. Roosevelt at his invitation. In a letter to her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth described the Roosevelts as “such a charming and united family and living so like English people when they come to their country house.”

* On June 11, 1963, Alabama governor George Wallace stood in front of the Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama and refused entry to two African American students, resulting in the issue of Executive Order 11111 by President John F. Kennedy. The order brought in the National Guard, forcing Wallace to step aside.

* On June 5, 1981, a weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted five cases of a rare form of pneumonia in Los Angeles. Later, they would be recognized as the first incidences of the AIDS virus.

* On June 10, 2003, the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan, opened Mrs. Fisher’s Southern Cooking restaurant in honor of Abby Fisher, who journeyed from enslaved plantation cook to upscale caterer and cookbook author after migrating west to California. “What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking, Soups, Pickles, Preserves, Etc.” is the oldest known cookbook by a formerly enslaved person.

* On June 9, 2020, Dr. Kathy Sullivan became the first woman to reach the deepest part of the ocean, the Mariana Trench (36,201 feet). Sullivan had earlier achieved notoriety by becoming the first American woman to complete a spacewalk, in 1984.
