Word of the Day:
Finicky: someone who is very hard to please, or something that requires a lot of care, precision, or attentive effort - The latest game in the series boasts amazing graphics but the controls are a little finicky.
On This Day in History:
On October 8, 1871, the Peshtigo Fire, now considered the most devastating fire in United States history, began in Wisconsin. Some 1,200 people lost their lives and 2 billion trees were consumed by flames. Despite the massive scale of the blaze, it was overshadowed by the Great Chicago Fire, which began later that night.

On This Day in History:
On October 2, 1965, during a football game between the University of Florida Gators and the Louisiana State University Tigers, Florida players tested a newly concocted sports drink to help them regain the essential chemicals their bodies lose from profuse sweating. It was developed in their own school's science labs, and designed to fight dehydration and rebalance their bodies' electrolytes so they could continue to perform at a high level through their games. You all know it as Gatorade.
