• 8000 BCE - The first slums are built in the Middle East to much acclaim by architectural critics of the day. The concept would prove to be an enduring one, celebrating the DIY culture.
• 1221 - Genghis Khan executes the first slum clearance project ever in Samarkand and a whole bunch of people besides.
• 1666 - Just as London was growing into a first-class cesspool, the Great Fire comes along and undoes years of hard work. Londoners will roll up their sleeves in the aftermath and vow to build even more slums.
• 1875 - Oscar Wilde decided to avoid his normal routine and go to the barbers before attending his routine denouncement.
• 1930 - Hoovervilles spring up all over America, a testament to recycling and a renewed urge to live in squalor.
• 1956 - The Great One's first toenail grows in. Widely considered to be particularly unspectacular, this event is overlooked by hoards of Bushists who hold wild street parties, which begin with tea and quiet chatting and end in mass orgies. Oh, hee hee, I said a dirty word on the internet! Is that even allowed?
• 1995 - The Peeing Calvin bumper sticker makes its debut. It is leaked from a private email, streamed online and goes viral. While millions drink it up, American fans of the comic strip are pissed while some think it to be a piddling matter. Peeing Calvin is found combined with other images as an insult, but used alone lets golden shower lovers to proudly identify themselves.
• 1996 - Noting the Peeing Calvin image everywhere, dogs interpret it to mean "it's okay to pee here" and do just that. Tire dealers and auto paint shops rejoice. Pedestrians soon pee everywhere based on the subliminal cue and the bathroom-like odor. Rubber boot sellers rejoice.
• 1998 - A shrunken head is seen by visitors to Bill Watterson's house. He is jokingly asked if it belongs to the Peeing Calvin artist and Watterson readily admits that it is.
• 2006 - Nintendo engineers see Peeing Calvin stickers and get the inspiration to build the Wii game console.
• 2010 - Just as suddenly, the craze becomes not to have a Peeing Calvin bumper sticker on your vehicle. As much of the original audience is a little "challenged", cars and trucks start appearing missing back bumpers, fenders, and rear and side windows.
