Welcome to the History Tricks where any resemblance to a boring old history lesson is purely coincidental.

And here is your 30-second summary.

Once upon a time in the house made of wood, two women met.

Literally met for the first time to record their first story about Francis tragic Queen Marie Antoinette.

Today is the 10th birthday.

There was a whole lot of cats rumbling through the dining room as we were trying to record this high-tech, incredible thing of magic with the stuff at the place that one time.

Today is the 10th birthday of that great leap into the unknown.

Let's talk about the history chicks.

First, let's drop us into history. In 2011, Game of Thrones premiered and the Oprah Winfrey show ended.

A mid-controversy, Charlie Sheen left his show to a half-men, but New Girl with Zoidation Elle premiered.

NASA's Space Shuttle program ended. A 9.0 magnitude earthquake took place off the coast of Japan causing a massive tsunami that ended more than 15,000 lives and caused a nuclear reactor meltdown.

A 100-year-old mummy was discovered by road workers in Taijo, China. The band won direction, dropped their first album.

Internet celebrity cat Little Bub was born.

Jane Russell, Geraldine Ferrara, Betty Ford, Nancy Wake, Wandgari, Muthai, and Amy Winehouse all died.
