Tim, I'm not sure where you get these, but, while interesting, they are all really depressing. Could you perhaps sprinkle a few upbeat moments in history?
Kind of like these:
1886 - Karl Benz patents the first successful gasoline-driven automobile.
1995 - Super Bowl XXIX: The San Francisco 49ers defeat the San Diego Chargers 49-26 and become the first NFL team to win five Super Bowl titles.
