Newell’s ***Old ***Boys is a First Division ***football club *** in Rosario, Argentina, and were called “Old Boys” even when they were founded, 111 years ago, before the formation of any leagues, and are thus one of the ***oldest clubs ***in the country.
The oldest franchise in the National Football League is the Arizona Cardinals, who were founded in Chicago in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club. As the Cardinals, they later relocated to St. Louis and shared a name with the city’s National League baseball franchise. The team did have a hiatus in its existence from 1906, when the then Racine Cardinals suspended operations, until 1913, and again in 1918 due to the flu epidemic. During WW2 they merged with the Pittsburgh Steelers as Card-Pitt, or “Carpets” since they were so bad.
The 1918 flu pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920) was an unusually deadly global influenza pandemic. Estimated to have infected 500 million people across the world, it killed between 50 and 100 million of them.
It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history killing more people, in absolute numbers, than the Black Death or HIV/AIDS and exceed the deaths resulting from WW1.
It was called Spanish Flu as the absence of reporting restrictions in the Spainish press made Spain seem to be particularly badly affected, and thus a supposed reservoir of infection.
The “Bachelors Theme” on the TV show “The Dating Game” was the instrumental recording of “Spanish Flea” by trumpeter Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
Tijuana is the largest city on the Baja California Peninsula and center of the Tijuana metropolitan area, part of the international San Diego–Tijuana metropolitan area. As an industrial and financial center of Mexico,[2] Tijuana exerts a strong influence on economics, education, culture, art, and politics.

It doesn’t fool anybody anyway, least of all the rest of us who do it too. 
The Caesar Salad is reputed to have been invented by Caesar Cardini, an Italian chef, at his restaurant in Tijuana, where he worked when Prohibition limited revenue at his San Diego location. His daughter claimed it was first thrown together on July 4, 1924 when a rush depleted the restaurant’s stock of other food.
It is roughly 1,000 miles down the Baja peninsula from Tijuana to Cabo. Along the way, one of the bigger cities is La Paz, capital of BCS, Baja California Sur.
Also along the way, about midway, are major lagoons where gray whales migrate to in the winter, from Alaska. The mothers give birth to their calves in those lagoons, and they nurse them in the winter months before heading north in the spring to feed near the Aleutians.
These lagoons near Guerrero Negro, and Bahia San Ignacio, offer some of the best whale watching available. You come, literally, within a few feet or even inches of the curious calves as the mother sits nearby, keeping a watchful eye on her baby.
I almost touched one, I was that close. An amazing experience, I highly recommend it if you have the means. The drive from San Diego isn’t too bad. It’s quite scenic, if you like deserts and mountains and the rugged coastlines of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.
Meanwhile, however nice calving whales are, back in play…
The Waldorf Salad was first created at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City towards the end of the nineteenth century. Oscar Tschirky, the Waldorf’s maître d’hôtel, is widely credited with creating the recipe of fresh apples, celery and walnuts dressed in mayonnaise on a bed of lettuce.
Only Basil Faulty claimed to be unable to produce one as he had ‘run out of waldorfs’.
The Waldorf Hotel went into operation in 1893. In 1897, John Jacob Astor opened a hotel right next door that he named “The Astoria.” A corridor was built connecting the two hotels and it was billed under the name “The Waldorf-Astoria,” a major luxury hotel brand for years.
The Danzig (Gdansk) Corridor was established in Pomerania at the end of World War I to give the newly-reestablished nation of Poland direct access to a seaport. The corridor separated East Prussia (half of which is now the Kalinin District of Russia, half of which is part of Poland) from the rest of Germany.
Similarly the Jervis Bay Territory was transferred from NSW to the Commonwealth in 1915 so that the capital, Canberra, would have sea access.
Bobby Darin, who recorded the most popular version of Beyond the Sea, was a campaigner for Robert Kennedy and was present when Kennedy was assassinated.
It Trivia, dammit! 
Thomas Darcy McGee, an Irish-Catholic-Canadian, is the only Canadian federal politician who was assassinated.
Patrick Whelan, another Irish-Catholic-Canadian, was convicted and hanged for the killing.
In March 1868 Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, the second son of Queen Victoria visited Sydney. On 12 March he attended a beach picnic at Clontarf, where an assassination attempt was made on his life. He was not seriously injured.
Soon afterwards a memorial fund was established in gratitude for the Prince’s recovery. It paid for the construction of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, which is still in operation today.
Alfred the Great is the only English or British (post 1707) monarch called “the Great.”
Thomas Edison recorded the voice of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, reciting “Charge of the Light Brigade”.
Hallam Tennyson, 2nd Baron Tennyson, was the second Governor-General of Australia, serving from 9 January 1903 until 21 January 1904.
A baron is the lowest hereditary title in the English peerage system. In order of hierarchy, the five titles are Duke, Marquess, Earl/Countess, Viscount, and Baron.
