On this day in 335 Constantine the Great consecrated the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jersusalem's Christian Quarter. The church stands over what are believed to the sites of Jesus' crucifixion and burial, and is one of 9 sites in Israel protected by the Status Quo agreements of the 16th and 17th centuries.
On this day in 1848, Phineas Gage, a Vermont railroad worker, is on the job when a premature blast drives a 3 and a half foot steel rod completely through his skull and destroys much of his frontal lobe.
Gage's bad luck is medicine's gain: he lived 12 years after the explosion, but his personality is irreversable changed. His case essentially rewrites much of what doctors know about neuroscience and psychology.
On this day in 1990, Law and Order debuts on NBC. It will become the longest running crime drama in US history (20 years) and spawn several spinoffs.
