In 1977, the trans-Alaska oil pipeline, three years in the making, was completed.
It took all of Horace's energy to convince the workers that the first oil transferred from one end to another should not be that of olive.

In 1431, Joan of Arc, condemned as a heretic, was burned at the stake in Rouen, France.
With the wink of an eye and a confident chuckle, the soon to be saint vanished into nothingness, leaving nothing but the crackle of flames and a goose egg behind.

In 1929, the first all-color talking picture, "On with the Show," opened in New York.
Horace was able to convince the audience that the screen in front of them didn't lead into a separate dimension that they bought tickets to spy upon.
This, of course, was a lie fabricated by the time detective to offer a bit of comfort. In reality, the alternate dimension still exists, and is still planning something.

In 1969, the Apollo 10 astronauts returned to Earth after a successful eight-day dress rehearsal for the first manned moon landing.
In an interview, Horace was told that even though the astronauts felt they phoned in the dress rehearsal, they were confident they would come alive in front of an audience.

In 1935, Babe Ruth hit the 714th and final home run of his career, for the Boston Braves, in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Upon asking Horace if he knew the lucky fan who caught the ball, our favorite time detective simply said "No, but I shook hands with the guy that Babe Ruth vomited on after his eighth celebratory whiskey that night."
