I always hang a Pompeius head on my porch to celebrate! What about you?

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

I tried finding the video for this and this page seems to be pointing at other things altogether.

I simply do not believe this ever happened. If it did why is there no video on YouTube?

I participle in a number of "Battle of Nachos" reenactments.

This story seems familiar.
 
Has it been lifted from the original Star Trek pilot?

Yes, I believe it was surgically removed from Sulu.
 
This process was later duplicated and used to create all Hollywood movies.

You are correct.  It was a typo. 
 
Weasels of Mast Distribution.
 
This event also marked one of the last times a major political power relied on weasels for ship design.  In more recent years, this practice was resumed by Carnival Cruise Lines.

This year is also the 1700th anniversary of the Roman Emperor "Constantine the Great" in defeating his rival Emperor Maxentius, and thus issuing the Edict of Milan.....better known today as "western civilisation".

This reminds me of this cool old coin I found.  It was stamped with 82 BC.

There were millions of them minted.
 
83 BC is the year to find.
 
There was a shortage of minerals that year. They filled the middle of those with oreo cream filling.
