1097

THe Battle of Dorylaeum took place during the First Crusades.

In 1091, a tornado strikes the heart of London, demolishing the then wooden London Bridge. Thankfully, despite the strength of the tornado and the amount of damage caused, only 2 were killed.

It's a little known fact that, due to dwindling populations, early Londinium was constructed entirely from Balsa wood. This enabled the inhabitants to carry their homes with them, if there was a better proposition elsewhere. It's where the phrase "up sticks" comes from as people would be seen carrying the rafter of their homes across the countryside. It's also why the tornado was seemingly so devastating. It was really a fairly minor tornado.


The Mullet, or, 1090, is characterized by short hair on the top, front, and sides of the head, followed by a long drape of hair on the back. 10% on top/ 90% at the back.

1089 is a special number. From the website:

"Take any 3-digit number, say, 732 and write it backwards: 237. Subtract the smaller of the two numbers (237 in our case) from the larger (732). With our selection, we obtain the number 495. Write this one backwards too and compute the sum: 495 + 594. Here comes the surprise: regardless of your original selection, the final result will always be 1089!"

1088 - The (U.S.) Federal Communications Commission form you fill out when filing a complaint about overly aggressive senders of junk faxes and/or obnoxiously persistent telemarketers. (Like there's any other kind.)

The Domesday Book was completed in 1086 by King William to get mittens on the taxes of his people. Except those who lived tax free or who had rights to raise their own taxes. Corrupted from the start really, hey, just like today.

1085 Artist Management in Cape Town is a model management agency.

The turks capture Antioch, where the Holy Hand Grenade originates, from the Byzantines in 1084

1083 people flee from clan warfare in one of the Philippines' southernmost provinces. Apparently, they had enough time to pause for a very accurate census.

Earth 1078 was used in an unpleasant sounding Marvel story where the clone of Black Widow/ radioactive spider is impregnated with the DNA of Peter Parker giving birth to 123 offspring.

1077 The End is a radio station in Seattle.

It doesn't say much for our educational system when my horror film watching made the Synod of Worms in 1076 a terrifying prospect. Then Geography(southy-westy Germany) and History (usual tedious greed-fest between church and state) caught up.
