Choppin’ ‘Round the World: Did you know? On July 22 (that’s today!), 1983, entrepreneur and founder of Australian Geographic magazine Dick Smith completed the first-ever solo helicopter flight around the world. The journey took him 11 months, which might sound daunting but could be considered leisurely when compared to the 28 days it took H. Ross Perot Jr. (yup, the son of Texas gazillionaire Ross Perot) and his team to accomplish the same feat in 1982. Helicopter round-the-world flights are impressive but seem to be a battle only the wealthy can fight. For example, both Smith and Perot hired ocean-going sea vessels to wait for them in the Pacific for refueling. If you want something a little more down-to-earth to celebrate today, it’s George Clinton’s 71st birthday. Spin around like a helicopter. Feel the funk.

Here There Be Dragons: Did you know? According to the Chinese zodiac calendar, 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. This round it’s a water dragon, meaning we can expect a wild ride without the chaos a year of the fire dragon might bring. (Of course that’s just if you hope the Mayans and Nostradamus are wrong in their predictions that the world will suddenly end this year.) For Li-Ning, the biggest Chinese name in sportswear, the 2012 dragon lends both passion and wings as the premium brand launches for the first time in the United States. Li-Ning is a celebration of the ‘New China,’ where premium goods are designed by culture makers and artists who demand an exquisite attention to detail in each of their high-end products. For example, the brand is celebrating Year of the Dragon with athletic shoes inspired by thousands of years of Chinese art, including ancient porcelain vases and the bold yellow robes worn by leaders of the ancient Tang Dynasty.

Liberty Leaper: Did you know? In the early 20th century, urban climbing enthusiasts could make a decent living as aerial carpenters, or steeplejacks, scaling buildings, chimneys, and church steeples to carry out repairs or maintenance. One of the most famous steeplejacks in America was Frederick Law, who was the first person to climb and paint the flagpoles of New York’s Pulitzer and Singer Buildings. In February 1912, Law became famous for pulling off one of the first recorded BASE jumps, leaping off the torch-bearing hand of the Statue of Liberty and floating down with a parachute. Even with the parachute, Law crashed hard to the ground. In its 1912 account of the incident, the New York Times reports, “he then got up, dusted himself off and personally packed up and carried his parachute to his office in the Hudson Terminal building. He did not want to be interviewed”
