Around this time in 2004, the end of a decade-long court challenge. It was about a guy who turned up at casinos and beat the house at roulette, thanks to a lot of observation and a lot of calculation. Plus: this weekend
Today in 1959, groundbreaking for the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis. The Gateway Arch has a unique design that mostly supports its own weight. Or at least that's what the math tells us. Plus: some on
For National Kissing Day, we look at the history of kissing, which goes back so far that it probably predates humans. Plus: starting this Saturday, it’s the Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races. Who Kissed First? Ar

This week we're replaying some of our most delicious episodes. In this one from April 2024, a look at the sandwich rivalry between Tampa and Miami, Florida. Each city claims to be home to the authentic Cuban sandwich. Pl
Back in 1976, a sandwich run that topped them all, when Elvis Presley flew from Graceland to Denver for a sandwich. Of course, giant sandwiches are only one part of the world of Elvis food. Elvis Presley’s “Fool’s Gold”
There were travelers before GPS and navigation apps, even in the early days of the US. And some of them turned to a set of paper maps that became the first US road atlas. Plus: tomorrow in Battle Creek, Michigan, it’s th

Today in 2022, the world celebrated the end of a major international conflict. It involved two countries, one island, an international border... and a whole lot of liquor bottles. Plus: today in 2016, Summerville, South

Today in 1959 may have been the day the US government completed a secret report that suggested one way to win the Cold War space race: build a base on the Moon. Plus: congratulations to Richard Delcid of Manassas, Virgin
Today is Denmark’s Constitution Day. That document broadly guarantees the right to personal expression, including burning the country’s flag. But doing that same thing to other countries’ flags is 100 percent against the
Today in 1991, a rare early print of the Declaration of Independence went up for auction, and the story of how it came up for sale is pretty weird. Plus: starting tomorrow in Pasadena, California, it's the 17th annual Cl
