All-electric aircraft to emulate Lindbergh's historic transatlantic flight
Eighty five years ago, Charles Lindbergh became the first pilot to successfully fly from New York to Paris non-stop, claiming a substantial cash prize and securing a place in history in the process. Now another world record holder, Chip Yates, has announced plans to take on the same aviation challenge ... but this time the aircraft making the 3,600 mile non-stop flight will be all-electric.
Funniest Speech ever by an African President
'My majesty Mr. Queen Sir, horrible ministers and members of parliament, invented Guests, ladies under gentlemen, before I undress you, let us open the windows for the climate to come inside!
I hereby thank you completely.. Mr. Queen, sir; and also what he has done for me and my fellow Uganda who come with me.
THE STORY & PURPOSE OF FATHER'S DAY.....
"The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington. At about the same time in various towns and cities across America, other people were beginning to celebrate a 'father's day.' In 1926 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day [for the U.S.A]. It has since been adopted by Canada, Europe and several other countries.
