Dude, that's sweet.

For my birthday, 6 August, one of the first things I learnt about it...

1945 – World War II: Hiroshima is devastated when the atomic bomb "Little Boy" is dropped by the United States B-29 Enola Gay. Around 70,000 people are killed instantly, and some tens of thousands die in subsequent years from burns and radiation poisoning.

And, on a less depressing note, Lucille Ball was born in 1911 on that date. I love Lucy!
