The Morning Mail – March 10th, 2023

by

On this day in 241 BC, the Romans sank the Carthaginian fleet (Battle of the Aegates Islands), ending the first Punic war, and in 1783 the USS Alliance won the last naval battle of the US Revolutionary War off Cape Canaveral.

British Parliament divides Ireland into two parts in 1920 with the passage of the Home Rule Act. Seventy-seven years later on that same day, and not related in any way, Joss Whedon’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” premieres on the WB Television Network.

March 10th is the Festival of Life in the Cracks, pack a lunch day, and the international day of awesomeness. We pay tribute to Harriett Tubman (where’s that twenty-dollar bill with her face on it Barry Obama), middle names, Mario (the one form Ninetend0), landlines, dry shampoo, and ranch dressing. It is also allegedly paper money day, Skirt day, bagpipe day, and girls and women’s aids awareness day.
