    23 Mar - Benito Mussolini founds the Fasci di Combattimento 220px-Benito_Mussolini_Duce

    In the troubled period following WWI, Mussolini organised his followers, mostly veterans, into a paramilitary organisation that promoted aggressive nationalism and violently opposed communism and socialism.  Amid strikes, unrest, and governmental failure, Mussolini advocated the use of force to restore order.  In 1921, his Fasci di Combattimento became the Fascist Party, planting the seeds for the regime that would rule Italy for nearly 20 years.  What title did Mussolini choose for himself?  More...

    alien  Historic Trivia pick - Albert Einstein

    Albert Einstein did not speak until the age of four.
    It is not true that Einstein was a terrible student as a youth. While he was slow to learn to speak before entering school and did poorly at French while in school, his academic records indicate that he was a child prodigy who understood college physics before his eleventh birthday, a strong violin player, and skilled in Latin and Greek.
    Einstein's ideas on relative acceleration were partly inspired by the free fall of a man who fell off a roof in Berlin. The man, who survived without injury, told Einstein that he had not felt the effects of gravity.
    n 1905 Albert Einstein wrote his famous Special Theory of Relativity. It was published in a scientific journal that same year, but took many years to gain general acceptance. In fact, it was not verified by actual experiment until 25 years later. Two years after that paper was published, Einstein wanted a job as assistant professor of mathematics. This job required the applicant to submit a thesis paper, so Einstein submitted his Special Theory of Relativity. The university rejected it.
    Albert Einstein's last words will never be known. He spoke them in German, but the attending nurse didn't know German and so couldn't recall what was said.
