My apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but Henri Petain is shown as having died twice (1951 and 1955). Uyanga 19:49 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I removed the 1955 Petain entry; I believe the 1951 date to be the correct one. I also removed John Baratta, Coolest guy in Doylestown from the births list, on the assumption that it was bogus. Zoicon5 16 Oct 2003
"1904 - In St. Louis, Missouri, Charles E. Menches invents the ice cream cone during the Louisiana Purchase Exposition." Upon reading Ice cream cone, this can be noted to be false. I'm removing it. Radagast 02:06, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] ice cream cone
Well I impersonalised the entry on 23 July because according to this article and the links it is not all too clear who really invented the first ice cream cone. --SabineCretella 10:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
