Not the luckiest day in History.
In 1889 Adolf Hitler was born on April, 20th in Braunau, Austria.

I abstain from posting a picture of him.

I kinda knew someone will come up with Hitler on April the 20th. :)
And yes, for the record, he was Austrian. :)

Spectacular night eruption of Calbuco Volcano in Chile. Most spectacular volcano eruption video I have seen in my 55 years. Hopefully will be remembered years later.


Edit: It's 2015 and not 2014 like I posted in original message.

Yikes, I saw the pic before I read the text. Had me worried there. Perhaps I'm still traumatized by the swimming briefs pic.
