16th June 1904

Na Sylvia, Frazer, Kerry and Lee what does today commemorate?

The company Pepsi Cola is formed.

It's Pepsi Cola's one hundred and tenth birthday.

Are you going to work in your Sunday best today? Will they give you a piece of cake and a Pepsi to swill it down? Wish the company a Happy Birthday from me, who knows maybe I'll be looking for a new job sometime and if you mention my good wishes I'll have a star in my bonnet with them already.

Awesome, a Pepsi advertisement with Michael Jackson from 1984.

and a song Cola from Lana Del Rey in which she praised the taste of Pepsi Cola

Birthday of the Day:

16th June 1829

Geronimo an Apache leader
 

Time for a laugh! I think the real Geronimo would turn in his grave if he saw this video from RuPaul (a transvestite artist).

Died on this Day:

16th June 1977

Wernher von Braun
 

One of the leading figures in rocket science. After he gained his Dr Phil in Rocket Science at the University of Berlin he started his career under the Nazi regime. He was given the honorary rank of an officer in the Waffen SS and was appointed as leading engineer in the Peenemünde Rocket Base on the Isle of Usedom (that's where we are going to celebrate our Christmas holidays, Penemünde isn't a military base anymore, it's a quiet village with an enormous history. I'm looking foreword to exploring the ruins and the museum that has been erected.)

Wernher von Braun died at sixty-five from pancreatic cancer, how painful.

Thoughts:

Today we got up early it was just before eight (for a Sunday that is early). There was so much going on, and we wanted a part of the action. To start with in Leck where a troop of Borgward cars were stopping off. That is a brand of car that was built in Bremen between 1929 and 1961, the firm died of bankruptcy. The most popular cars were built after the war and about thirty of them stopped over in Leck before a lunch in Achtrup. There were some nice pieces of iron among them, not one of the cars had a speck of rust or dust on them. The going price for a Borgward Isabella in good nick is around thirty thousand Euros, if it’s a coupe then forty thousand and the cabriolet eighty thousand. If I owned a car of that calibre it wouldn't have a speck of dust on it either.

All in a row,
one as beautiful as the other
