Also, I noticed you didn't attach your signature to your last one, which momentarily made me thing the second image was a new signature image or something

April 7 – British Prime Minister William Pitt, delivers his last speech to Parliament, and speaks to the House of Lords "passionately but incoherently against the granting of independence" to the American colonies, but collapses during the debate, and dies five weeks later.
This (totaly on a side note) caught my attention because I am currently reading the novels by Naomi Novik, about an alternative history, where dragons do live in our world, where the death of William Pitt was described.

In August of this year, the Siege of Fort Stanwix took place about half a mile from where Chex lives in Rome, NY. The loyalist and British forces were driven out in part due to Benedict Arnold and a misinformation campaign that convinced the attackers that a larger American support force was inbound.
In Science, James Cook discovers the Cook Islands; Euler denotes i to represent the square root of a negative, otherwise knows as imaginary numbers; Thomas Arnold produces the first watch or portable timepiece, known then as a Chronometer, or device to measure time.
