On this day in 1505 Christopher Columbus was granted a license to ride a mule in Spain. First, of course, he had to complete a course in mule education for his beginner's license, so he could ride a mule when accompanied by a licensed mule rider. Until he passed his mule test.
Then he could solo and go cruisin' any time he wanted.
Ever try to parallel park a mule?
The siege of the Alamo began on this day in 1836. Remember the Alamo? That's where 5-thousand Mexican troops bravely defeated 187 Texans in only 13 days. Mexican General Santa Anna said he could have won the battle even quicker if he hadn't been so outnumbered.
On this day in 1983 the New Jersey Generals signed running back Herschel Walker to a three-year, $5 million contract. To perfect his running technique, Herschel studied ballet. He's the first dancer to wear hip pads with a tutu.
