THIS IS THE POLITICAL JOKE OF THE DAY!
FAMOUS FILM DIRECTOR HAS DIED AT 78
David Lynch, the director behind Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet,
Mulholland Drive, and other works, died January 15th. His
family confirmed the passing on his official Facebook page.
The post announcing his death didn’t list a cause, but
last August, Lynch revealed that he had been diagnosed
with emphysema “from my many years of smoking.”

‘’THE GREATEST” WAS BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1942
Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.)
(January 17, 1942 – June 3, 2016)
Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Ali began training as
an amateur boxer at age 12. At 18, he won a gold medal in the
light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics and
turned professional later that year. He is frequently cited as
the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time.

HISTORIC ROBBERY MADE ON THIS DAY IN 1950
On January 17, 1950, 11 men stole more than $2 million
($29 million today) from the Brink’s Armored Car depot
in Boston, Massachusetts. It was the perfect crime—
almost—as the culprits weren’t caught until January
1956, just days before the statute of limitations for the
theft expired.
The robbery’s mastermind was Anthony “Fats” Pino, a
career criminal who recruited a group of 10 other men
to stake out the depot for 18 months to figure out when
it held the most money.
Pino’s men then managed to steal plans for the depot’s
alarm system, returning them before anyone noticed they
were gone. Only $58,000 of the stolen funds has ever
been recovered.
