On this day......

I thought i'd start a world history topic that may or may not generate some interest. I always find it intersting to know what happened on "this day" in years past. This could bring up some interesting stories if someone remembers where they were or what they were doing on that particular day. So let us begin with......

July 27th, 1940 - Bugs Bunny makes his film debut in the Warner Brothers cartoon, "A Wild Hare," directed by Tex Avery.

lol, not sure if anyone can comment on where they were or what they were doing on that particular day but I figured everbody loves Bugs so it's a good start.
