Good morning. Today is the 151st day of the year. Can’t remember the last time you saw a duel? That’s because the last duel reported by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle took place on May 30, 1887. It happened in Indianapolis, and “both men had threatened to kill each other for weeks.” When they finally met, however, they wisely decided to duke it out with their fists.

Well-known people who were born today include singer Cee Lo Green, director Trey Parker (“South Park”), baseball player Many Ramirez and singer Wynona Judd.
