ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD


On This Day in Weird, July 13...

1956: Thumbing their noses at public opinion, the environment, and the safety of all life on Earth, Britain and the United States flatly reject pleas from India and Yugoslavia to sop atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons.



1960: Hollywood releases a color remake of The Lost World, taking more liberties with the original fantasy/sci-fi novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle while cutting back on the FX quality of dinosaurs on screen and sparking fully justified charges of animal cruelty to boot.
