This Day in Ancient History
On this day in 64 AD, the Emperor Nero set fire to parts of Rome and blames it on the Christians. The fire is well planned and burned only the districts in most need of renovation without damaging any of the newer, better sections of the city. There was no loss of life. His building projects in the wake of the fire renewed some of Rome's worst slums. He may not have played the harp during the fire, but he deserved to.

"His building projects in the wake of the fire renewed some of Rome's worst slums."
Woo Hoo! New slums, twice as better as the old slums.
(Sorry. It was sitting there, staring at me, and then I couldn't help myself. I think I'll eat a Twinkie.)
