On this date in 1923, Howard Carter unsealed the tomb of King Tut, causing no end of problems for Laurel and Hardy. King Tut is most famous for wearing a cool hat and walking like an Egyptian. Also on this date in 1959, Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba. Castro is also most famous for wearing a cool hat and being a vicious dictator.
