LOTS of History
Prepared by Pip over at Ducktioncups.com If you like the history segment SHOW THEM SOME LOVE Website FB TikTok
July 5th
well damn.. A pip has been busy doing the 4th stuff, that a Florida dude almost forgot to send an email about the LOTS of stuff that happened today.
And as a note, I think Brian twisted my arm enough to confirm that Ducktion Cups will be represented at SRF.
Pip’ notes – dammit. I assume this means I need to actually talk to other humans.
Anyway…. So according to Wiki, some stuff happened in history, or LOTS of stuff happened in history…
- 1687 – Isaac Newton publishes Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
Pip’s notes – Yeah, pip no math. Excuse me while I look for crayons.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophi%C3%A6_Naturalis_Principia_Mathematica
- 1775 – The Second Continental Congress adopts the Olive Branch Petition.
Pip’s notes – Yet another reason why I don’t eat olives. Nor branches.

(Laughs at old HOA ‘guidelines”)

Happy Birthdays
- 1745 – Carl Arnold Kortum, German physician and poet (d. 1824)
a German physician, but best known for his writing and poetry.
Kortum wrote several somewhat popular medical works, but also wrote a number of other less profitable works on various subjects, ranging from beekeeping to antiquarian topics to alchemy. However, he is most well known for his satirical epic poem, Life, Opinions, and Deeds of Hieronymus Jobs the Candidate
Pip’s notes – dude studied to be a doctor, but best known for satire?
Was he not that good at the job, or did he hit a home plate with his 1 poem?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Arnold_Kortum
- 1959 – Marc Cohn, American singer-songwriter and keyboard player
an American singer-songwriter and musician. He won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1992. Cohn is best known for the song “Walking in Memphis” from his eponymous 1991 album, which was a Top 40 hit.
Pip’s notes – It’s been a long while since I was walkin’ in Memphis.
But there’s been enough talk for a Florida dude to put that thought into his head of ‘a few acres up there wouldn’t hurt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Cohn
- 1964 – Ronald D. Moore, American screenwriter and producer
He is best known for his work on Star Trek, as well as on the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica television series, for which he won a Peabody Award, and on Outlander, based on the novels of the same name by Diana Gabaldon. In 2019, he created and wrote the series For All Mankind for Apple TV+
Pip’s notes- I never did finish Battlestar Galactica remake… no spoilers, but I think that some of the humans could be robots.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_Landis
- 2013 – Bud Asher, American lawyer and politician (b. 1925)

Before becoming mayor, Asher was elected as a Daytona Beach City Commissioner in 1983, a position he held for twelve years from 1983 to 1995
Pip’s notes – Yeah, no clue who dude is. Wiki said Daytona, and I went Florida man proud, and put it into the mix.
