    Halloween had its origins in the festival of Samhain among the Celts of ancient Britain and Ireland.

    In the 7th century AD, Pope Boniface IV established All Saints’ Day, originally on May 13, and in the following century, perhaps in an effort to supplant the pagan holiday with a Christian observance, it was moved to November 1.

    When large numbers of immigrants, including the Irish, went to the United States beginning in the mid 19th century, they took their Halloween customs with them, and in the 20th century Halloween became one of the principal U.S. holidays, particularly among children.

    Egypt, about 4000 years ago, but a cat skeleton, which was found in association with a 9500-year-old human burial in Cyprus, suggests taming occurred much earlier in Asia. :bow: Gee, I’m brilliant! Yeah, right, I cheated! 😆

    Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin built his first airship around an aluminium framework in 1900, and went on to found Delag, the first well-financed air transportation company in the world. In the five-year period before the First World War, Delag airships made some 1,588 flights, carrying 34,228 passengers a total of some 170,000 miles. So successful were his designs that the word Zeppelin became synonymous with powered airships. 😕
