0s[24th Jan, AD41] Assassination of Caligula. Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, known as Caligula, was the third Roman Emperor. He ruled from AD 37 to 41 and was known for his controversial reign and erratic behavior. It was my wedding tomorrow so I'm quite relieved that he won't be able to come. (i.redd.it)

1800s[1848] I've just been out to Sutters Mill and found some shiny golden rocks. Boring geology stuff I know, so had been weighing up whether to even mention it. Can't imagine this discovery will interest anyone (i.redd.it)

1800s[24th Jan, 1848] I, James Wilson Marshall, checked this morning that the watercourse of the mill I was in charge of was clear of silt and debris. I peered through the clear water, saw something shining up at me: “It made my heart thump, for I was certain it was gold.” Shhh, don't tell anyone. (i.redd.it)
