This was an older thread but I want to revive it because it's a cool idea.

As many of you may know on Wikipedia's front page there is a section called "On this day" where historical events that took place on that day are featured. This can range from minor things to world events, all of which had to have taken place on that same date in a prior year. While IIWiki has this not everyone is on IIWiki, or cares enough to create a new article over and over again some of which wouldn't even be chosen. So I'm bringing it to the forums for everyone to enjoy, or well at least those of us on the forums.

I must clarify I mean historical events, so not this day today but rather this day in a past year. For example if it is February 25 you can do February 25, 1921 and/or February 25, 853 but not February 25, (Current Year).

More Kharakian armies were lining up to defend Tol Burnaak, the biggest city, sandwiched in the middle of all the others. After a battle that lasted 2 hours in Tol Impartik, the Kharakian armies defending it fell back towards Tol Burnaak. The West Kharakian armies set up camp in Tol Impartik, not attacking Tol Burnaak.

February 28th (well, technically March 1st as well) 2032

A weird event happened in The Socialist Council of Nastorordia (my national parliament) where the upper house vetod a bill that passed through the lower house vote, but the lower house then voted to veto the veto of the original bill, making a second vote which ended up veto-ing the veto to the veto of the original bill, and then congress voted to veto the veto of the veto of the veto of the original bill...

This went on for several hours (hence the double date). Until it was decided that from now on, if a bill get vetoed more than twice, a public vote is held where the parliament cannot interfere to prevent infinite chains of vetoes.

Or in simple terms:
Congress - Hey, we voted and want to pass this law
Senate - No you cant, we voted to invalidate your vote
Congress - Well, we voted to invalidate your vote to invalidate our vote!
Senate- Oh yeah? We voted to invalidate your vote to invalidate our vote to invalidate your vote to...
