July 27 Happy Insomnia Day

Happy Insomnia Day!


I feel this is quite fitting since I am on a 11 day work streak and am working 10 hour days... 

Intriguingly, July 27th is also Seven Sleepers Day in certain regions of the world, honoring the legendary septet of young lads who supposedly fell asleep in an ancient Middle Eastern cave and continue to doze until the final day of the world. The Seven Sleepers legend has existed since ancient times in both Christian and Islamic traditions.

This Day in History:

First Jet makes Test Flight



On this day in 1949, the world's first jet-propelled airliner, the British De Havilland Comet, makes its maiden test-flight in England. The jet engine would ultimately revolutionize the airline industry, shrinking air travel time in half by enabling planes to climb faster and fly higher.
