Vital trivia


Around noon on November 22, 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald was spotted buying a soft drink from a vending machine in the Texas School Book Depository lunchroom. He bought a Coca-Cola, even though he always drank Dr Pepper. Clearly, he did this because he was nervous; he was nervous because he had just singlehandedly assassinated John F. Kennedy.

Or at least that's how one theory goes. The other theory is that he naturally thought of Coke because he had just been paid to assassinate the President by the Coca-Cola company. Something about Federal sugar price supports, I assume.

Happy Fourth of July.
