Simple answer - He wanted to 'sleep with' whores.
Make of this what you will that the following people were born today:
Catherina II the Great, writer/empress of Russia (and no she didn't do it with the horses, just the horse men) (1729),
Alexandra Mary Windsor II (1926),
Iggy Pop [James Newell Osterberg] (1947) ,
Patti LuPone (1949),
Tony Danza (1951)
& Robert Smith (1959)
It's Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Today in History -
April 21, 753 -BC-
Traditional date of the foundation of Rome (they are hoping to finish building it any day now).
But since the Gregorian Calendar was just a gleam in Pope Julius eye - who knows.
April 21, 1836 -
With the battle cry, 'Remember the Alamo!' Texan forces under Sam Houston defeated the army of Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, assuring Texas independence .
According to legend, Santa Ana was astride a mulatto, or "yellow" prostitute, Emily Morgan, who came to be celebrated in song as "The Yellow Rose of Texas"
Now you know.
April 21, 1918 -
German fighter ace Manfred von Richthofen, known as "The Red Baron", is shot down and killed over Vaux sur Somme in France.
There is no truth to the rumor that Snoopy fired the fatal shot.
April 21, 1997 -
Ashes of Timothy Leary and Gene Roddenberry launched into orbit .
I guess this is the highest Dr. Leary will ever get.
And so it goes.
