raloriaI was just looking through my copy of "Leo Laporte's 2006 Technology Almanac", looking for websites to look up, when I found this interesting bit of trivia under July 19th...
"On This Day: Samuel Colt Born (1814)
Samuel Colt was born on this day in 1814; he died on January 10, 1862. Colt was an American firearms manufacturer who popularized the Colt 45 revolver and other guns. The Colt factory was one of the most innovative in its use of mass-production techniques and still manufactures some of the finest American firearms available, including the now legendary Colt .45-caliber handgun."
And who do we know was also born on July 19th? One Jared Padalecki, of course!
How about that for interesting trivia?
