In 1943, a Pennsylvania dentist convinced FDR to fund a secret WWII weapon: bats armed with napalm. The result accidentally burned down a US Army airfield on this day later that same year. Project X-Ray wasn't quite as mad as it seemed though.

Morganna “The Kissing Bandit” running onto the field toward California Angels outfielder Fred Lynn during a game at Anaheim Stadium, Anaheim, California, June 9, 1983 [640x453]

Known as “The Kissing Bandit,” Morganna Roberts became a pop-culture fixture in the 70s-80s for running onto Major League Baseball fields in tight tops and hot pants to kiss star players during games. Despite frequent arrests, she became a (strangely) accepted part of sports culture, kissing players including Fred Lynn, Nolan Ryan, George Brett, Pete Rose, and Cal Ripken Jr.
