Non-musical history for today: 1835 – P. T. Barnum began his career as a showman and circus entrepreneur by exhibiting Joice Heth, an octogenarian African slave whom he claimed was George Washington's nursemaid. Heth was supposed to pass for a 161-year-old woman. And, people fell for that. That doesn't surprise me, people fall for all kinds of crap these days, too.
