Throwing the 2ser time machine in reverse and seeing what happens, today on October 2nd the walls of Jerusalem fell to Saladin after 88 years of Crusader rule, vastly improving Muslim prospects in the region. Mexican troops attempted to relieve Texan settlers of a small cannon in the small town of Gonzales and officially kicked off the Texas Revolution, and Gladesville Bridge officially opened as the longest concrete arch in the world, a record it would hold for another 15 years. Plus birthdays for Mahatma Gandhi, Groucho Marx, James Hunter, Gillian Welch, and Sting!
