Double take! Identical twins Aimee and Ashley Nelson, from Ohio, both gave birth to hours apart on December 31, 2012! BBC On this day in 1930, the British Broadcasting Corporation news bulletin announced that there was no news to broadcast! In 2012, amateur golfers sly Nicholson, Bert Pigott Jr. and Charles Forman each sank a hole-in-one on three consecutive days at the number three hole at the Barefoot Resort course in Myrtle Beach, SC!

I once read of a mother who gave birth to twins straddling midnight on December 31. So, the first twin was born in the previous year and the second twin was born in the new year. How do you explain that when they are old enough to understand? :-)

“At this site in 1851, nothing happened”

Talk about a waste of airtime! They could have either signed off the air for the night or played some music if they were required to be on the air!

To quote the Great Statistician, “Over the eons, everything happens at least once”. (He is better known perhaps for the benediction, “May the Bird of Paradise fly high over your birthday cake!”)
