Time for Wiki Wednesday.
You know - you go to Wikipedia, you click on "random article," you report on the outcome.
Here's my random Wiki Wednesday find for this week:
Postal Reorganization Act
The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 abolished the United States Post Office Department, a part of the cabinet, and created the United States Postal Service, a corporation-like independent agency with an official monopoly on the delivery of mail in the United States. Pub.L. 91-375 was signed by President Richard Nixon on August 12, 1970.
The legislation was a direct outcome of the U.S. Postal Service strike of 1970.
A Postal Service strike? Good thing they stamped that out. Ha!
[Wait a minute... how could there be a "U.S. Postal Service strike" before it was even called the "U.S. Postal Service"? Looks like Wiki's made a mistake somewhere. I do believe I've found the first piece of misinformation ever to be posted on Wikipedia.]
