Temple of Artemis
On around this date in 356 BC, Herostratus set fire to the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. He committed the act in a quest for fame. A rain of ants fell on Nancy, France on July 21, 1887. The world's lowest temperature, -129°F, was recorded at Vostok Station, Antarctica on today's date in 1983.

Can I take this to mean that someone has subscribed to a "This Date in History" blog, or perhaps has an app for that?
