Did you know...
... that today is the birthday of the Ticker Tape Parade? In
1886, the first ticker tape parade celebrated the dedication
of the Statue of Liberty. The term ticker tape originally
referred to the use of the paper output of ticker tape
machines, which were used in brokerages to provide updated
stock market quotes. Nowadays, the paper products are largely
waste office paper that has been cut using conventional paper
shredders.
