How Daria Studies for French Tests

Animated hero Tintin is 91 years old today, but doesn't look a day over young-something. Daria Morgendorffer reads Tintin, according to The Daria Diaries ("Study for French test: Read Tintin comics"). That was stupid, wasn't it? Tintin's Belgian, so he speaks Belgian, not French! Daria's such a moron sometimes.

Historian Lord Acton was born this day 176 years ago. He is best known for his dictum about power and corruption, a saying that made its way into a Daria fanfic.
