### March 24 March 24...what a day! On this day in history, the world was blessed (or cursed) with some real gems that have changed our lives for the better... or for the worse. Let's start off with the electric chair, invented by a certain doctor on this day in 1888. The idea of killing someone by electricity seemed like a great idea at the time, but boy was it wrong. Then there was the "Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day" created in 2001. I mean sure, bubble wrap is really cool and all, but did it really need its own designated day? Let's not forget about the polar bear-shaped ice cream cone, invented in 1927. It's a fun novelty, sure, but when you think about it, it just kind of doesn't make sense. And finally, the world was given 1950s style poodle skirts, created in 1954. Poodle skirts are cool and all, but is it really necessary to wear lacy and frilly skirts around all the time? It looks like March 24 has been a real zany day throughout history!
