Halloween. I bet you're expecting something all about the Veil between the worlds, or some other Pagan position regarding the sanctity of the day. Nope... You get:
Harry Houdini
Harry Houdini was born Erik Weisz on March 24, 1874 and dies on October 31st 1926.
In between those dates he did a lot of stuff that I bet you have no idea about.
He flew a plane across Australia in 1910, and landed without crashing... He wasn't the first guy to make the flight, but he was the first not to crash.
He made movies! In 1923 he bought a movie company, but left the business because it was not profitable.
He DID NOT DIE in the water tank. He died due to complications of appendicitis.
There are all kinds of fun things about Houdini... Like his wife held a seance every year for 10 years after his death, even though the guy believed that mediums were fake and spent a lot of his career proving them wrong. She said after the last one " Ten years is long enough to wait for any man" (You go GIRL!)
Happy Halloween and
Keep Smiling :D
Mmm. . .appendicitis. . .fun. . . :-)
