Charles M. Schulz, creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip, died at age 77.

Answer:
How's this for a coincidence? Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the same day, February 12, 1809. Lincoln and Darwin share similarities beyond their birthday and epic beards. Both lost their mothers at a young age: Darwin at 8 and Lincoln at 9. One was born in a log cabin in Kentucky to poor parents, the other in a country estate to a wealthy British family. The two never met. But they both changed the most basic ways that people viewed human existence and helped bring about a new era in the history of human thought.

The Boston Public Latin School, the first public school in what is now the United States, was founded.

Answer:
In 1947 Charles Schulz started a cartoon feature called L'il Folks for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. It was a flop, never achieving a permanent spot in the paper. In 1950 he compiled his strips and sold the series to the United Features Syndicate, which changed its name to Peanuts. Peanuts made its first appearance on October 2, 1950, in seven newspapers. It became the most popular and influential comic strip in history with 17,897 strips published in all, making it "arguably the longest story ever told by one human being".

Answer:
The battleship USS Maine is best known for her catastrophic loss in Havana Harbor on the evening of February 15, 1898 (119 years ago today). Sent to protect U.S. interests during the Cuban revolt against Spain, she exploded suddenly without warning and sank quickly, killing nearly three quarters of her crew. Popular opinion in the U.S blamed Spain. The phrase "Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain!" became a rallying cry for action, which came with the SpanishAmerican War later that year.
