1822 – Alexis St Martin is accidentally shot in the stomach, leading to William Beaumont’s studies on digestion

St-Martin was accidentally shot with a musket at close range at the fur trading post on Mackinac Island.

The charge of the musket shot left a hole through his side that healed to form a fistula aperture into his stomach.

(insert long story about a dude figuring how how to heal another dude)

— time suck warning —
{{{William Beaumont, a US Army surgeon stationed at a nearby army post, treated the wound.
Although St-Martin was a healthy young man in his 20s, he was not expected to recover due to the severity of his wound.
Beaumont explains in a later paper that the shot blew off fragments of St-Martin’s muscles and broke a few of his ribs.
After bleeding him and giving him a cathartic, Beaumont marked St-Martin’s progress.
For the next 17 days, all food he ate re-emerged from his new gastric fistula.
Finally after 17 days, the food began to stay in St-Martin’s stomach and his bowels began to return to their natural functions.}}}

1925 – The original Chrysler Corporation was founded by Walter Chrysler from the remains of the Maxwell Motor Company

Pip’s notes – Someone ‘corrected’ me that it’s ‘Stellantis’ now, but I can’t keep track.

Chrysler Corporation (1925–1998)
DaimlerChrysler (1998–2007)
Chrysler LLC (2007–2009)
Chrysler Group LLC (2009–2014)
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US (2014–2021)

Pip’s notes- Dodge did an add run a few years ago, “Imported from Detroit”..
Then a dude looks at the build sticker that says ‘imported from Ontario’.

That being said, plans are in the works for a Chrysler 300 hemi build.
That bild ius after a Honda Accord sleeper build.
Then there’s a the Ram 1500 build with a 392 Hemi swap…
The Jeep Cherokee 2 door still needs to be finished up.
The Nissan Frontier V-8 swap is still in pencil, for now.

1942 – The United States Navy’s victory over the Imperial Japanese Navy at the Battle of Midway

is a major turning point in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

All four Japanese fleet carriers taking part—Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū and Hiryū—are sunk, as is the heavy cruiser Mikuma.

The American carrier Yorktown and the destroyer Hammann are also sunk

Pip’s notes – Pip avoids that wormhole. Considering there are video games based from this battle, movies, etc…

the MGM Grand (1993).[5]
He purchased the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie studio in 1969.
