December 8th! Pope Pius IX declared that Mary was born free of original sin. Jim Morrison was born, Sammy Davis Jr was born, Mary Queen of Scots was born, and James Thurbur was born. John Lennon was also shot on this day, in 1980, as was Darryl "Dimebag" Abbott, last year. (Also, in other horrific abuses upon mankind, the Eagles released Hotel California.)
