Here's an interesting tidbit. On December 8th in history:
1542: Mary Queen Of Scots was born.
1776: George Washington's retreating army crosses the Delaware from New Jersey.
1872: American Federation Of Labor (AFL) is formed.
1925: Sammy Davis Jr. was born.
1941: As a result of the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States and Australia declare war on Japan.
1972: A jetliner crashes at Chicago's Midway Airport, killing 48 people.
1991: The Soviet Union is demolished, with the forming of 'The Commonwealth
Of Independant States'.
1993: Dow Jones hits record high of 3734.53.

Now you know what happened in history on Dec 8!

On his trips to England, Sammy Davis Jr. would adopt a supposedly perfect British accent, and would maintain it till he got back to the states. A very interesting person indeed!
