What happend in history today, May 25
#1
On May 25, 1925, John Scopes was indicted for teaching evolution in school. Evolution was a theory put forth by Charles Darwin, whose boat was named "the Beagle." People objected to this theory, which put forth the proposition that mankind had evolved from life forms with hairy red asses. This resulted in the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, in which Spencer Tracy gave a long monologue that changed everyone's minds even though it was so darn hot in the courtroom.

It is now commonly accepted as fact that mankind evolved from life forms with hairy red asses, a proposition that anyone who's been to the beach lately shouldn't find too hard to accept.

Anne Heche turns 36 today and shares her birthday with Frank Oz (1944), Miles Davis (1926), Claude Akins (1918), and Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803).

It's Africa Day in Africa, Revolution Day in Argentina, and Independence Day in Jordan.
