This April 3rd is not only exciting because of the iPad release, but also because it is” Tweed Day” and “Don’t Go To Work Day Unless It’s Fun Day.” Coincidence? I think not. Here are some other historical events that have occurred on April 3rd:

1860 – The first successful United States Pony Express run from Saint Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California begins.

1968 – Martin Luther King Jr. delivers his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech.

1973 – The first portable cell phone call is made in New York City, United States.

1975 – Bobby Fischer refuses to play in a chess match against Anatoly Karpov, giving Karpov the title of World Champion by default.

1996 – Suspected “Unabomber” Theodore Kaczynski is arrested at his cabin in Montana, United States.
