On this day, 13 March, in 1934, John Dillinger and his gang robbed the
First National Bank in Iowa. Baby Face Nelson was manning the getaway
car during the heist when a woman customer ran out of the bank and
screamed, "They're robbing the bank!" Nelson replied, "You're telling
me?"

In 1930, the planet Pluto was discovered by Clyde W. Tombaugh. The
planet is only one-tenth as large as Earth and is four billion miles
away.

Relevant enough for ya?
