On This Day in History - October 14, 1912
October 14, 1912 #OTD Former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was shot and wounded by a .38 caliber bullet fired by John Flammang Schrank, a New York City saloonkeeper, who was standing at a distance of only 30 feet. The bullet was slowed when it passed through Roosevelt's metal eyeglasses case and the folded, fifty-page manuscript of Roosevelt's prepared speech, but still penetrated three inches into his chest, too close to the heart to be safely removed by surgery. Schrank was tackled by bystanders before he could fire a second shot, and Roosevelt went on to deliver his speech before getting medical treatment. Schrank would be found insane and would spend the rest of his life at a mental hospital in Waupun, Wisconsin, where he would die on September 15, 1943.

The Rapa Nui (Easter Island) moais stand, on average, over twice as tall as a person and have over 200 times as much mass. It is thought that the unusual statues... read more

If you could go back in time to any historical period, where would you go and when?
Personally I’d go back to medieval Europe around the 12th century.
