1812
An earthquake estimated at 7.8 magnitude, one of the largest in North America, shook an area centered at New Madrid, Mo. It was one of a series of temblors to shake the area that winter. The New Madrid seismic zone covers portions of Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee.
1812
Homer Watson, of New Madrid, Mo. invented a new drink after his prize milk cow, Betsy was trapped in a snow drift, then severely shaken by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Homer says he'll soon make a decision on what to call the delicious new drink. Names he is considering are a Betsy, a Cow Quake, a Drifty or possibly, a Milk Shake.

Wow! I didn't know they had colored photos in 1812!
Crazy4 - I wondered if anyone would call me on that one. I started to make it b&w but was lazy. Maybe Homer Watson is the unknown father of color photography.
hell i almost bought it..
YDG - The top part is true, it's just the bottom part that was "embellished".
That's the best skews-article I've seen since Rush Limbilge's STARVE prank, a total farce piece about the founding of a vegetable-rights lobby group to "Stop the Termination of Actively Reproductive Vegetable Embryos."
*LMAO!*
