Fourth Day of The Month After May in History

Some of the events happened in the Fourth Day of The Month After May in History (from wikipedia)

1876 – An express train called the Transcontinental Express arrives in San Francisco, California, via the First Transcontinental Railroad only 83 hours and 39 minutes after leaving New York City.

1896 – Henry Ford completes the Ford Quadricycle, his first gasoline-powered automobile, and gives it a successful test run.

1912 – Massachusetts becomes the first state of the United States to set a minimum wage.

1917 – The first Pulitzer Prizes are awarded: Laura E. Richards, Maude H. Elliott, and Florence Hall receive the first Pulitzer for biography (for Julia Ward Howe). Jean Jules Jusserand receives the first Pulitzer for history for his work With Americans of Past and Present Days. Herbert B. Swope receives the first Pulitzer for journalism for his work for the New York World.

1973 – A patent for the ATM is granted to Donald Wetzel, Tom Barnes and George Chastain.

See? There are so many remarkable things that worth celebrating today! I would love to know if anyone will get caught if they throw a party behind the Great Firewall today to celebrate the birth of ATM.
