On this Easter Sunday I have decided to give you a bit of a Historic Time line of Easter. Cheers leigh

On This Day Sunday 32AD:
Nothing really remarkable happened. It is pretty much your typical lazy Sunday

On this day Sunday 33AD:
Jesus rises from the dead, easily rolls back the large tomb door and then in a zombie like state pays a visit to many of the apostles. This simple act paves the way for such huge and amazing concepts we know today as Christianity and the ranch-slider door.

On this day in 1486:
Leonardo Da Vinci invents the helicopter, but there is nobody qualified to fly it.

On This Day in 1946:
The Catholic church in Rome decree that if chocolate eggs are going to be such a powerful symbol of Easter, they should at least be presented in such a way, so as to represent what Catholocism is all about. From then on most chocolate eggs were wrapped in expensive, glitzy gold and silver paper. Later that year they help a number of Nazi war criminals escape to South America.

On this day in history 1965:
A NASA computer analyst becomes the first man convicted of computer porn related crimes. He claims innocence but the fact that his penis was still jammed firmly into the large vending machine sized computer when he was arrested didn’t help his case.
The computer was re-programmed and later went on to assist with important computations involved with putting a man on the moon in 1969.

On this Day in 1966:
John Lennon’s controversial comment that ‘The Easter Bunny means more to kids than Jesus Christ’ is taken out of context and causes a furore in the United States. Beatles records and chocolate bunnies are burnt by the hutch load. Both the Easter Bunny and the Beatles eventually find their way back into the publics favour.
On This Day in 1977:
The controversial Easter porn movie Hot Crossed Buns is released to mixed reviews.

On this Day in 1989:
The first 12 items or less queue is introduced at Pak N Save.

On this day in 2006:
My first Easter related column is published in the Herald on Sunday. It receives poor reviews from the Christian community but a generally positive response from most ranch-slider door installation companies.

On This day in 2008:
In an effort to teach my children what Easter is all about we crucify a rabbit on our back lawn.

On This Day in 2009:
I fail to file a column, as I am drunk at a licensed garden centre.

On this day in 2013:
You are reading my Easter Today in History timeline, but probably wish you were at a licensed garden centre.
