October 29 - D'oh, a really black stroke

 It's almost Hallowe'en and that's a spooky day, but even spookier was the "Black Tuesday" that happened in 1929 which was the start of the great depression.


16 million shares traded in a single day.  Billions of dollars... billions by 1929 valuation too.  Ouch.

Also scary for anyone is the risk of stroke.  It's World Stroke Day.


My mom suffered a stroke when I was in grade 8, it was scary.  It happens when blood supply is interrupted and can't get to your brain.

Sir Walter Raleigh had no fear of having a stroke, especially after today in 1618 as his head was removed by James I.


To help balance out the spooky and scary, today is also the birthday of Dan Castellaneta... you know, the voice of HOMER SIMPSON!  


He's 64 years old today.  D'oh
