Surely, that map thumbnail is not relevant to SF 110 years ago. Yeah, no. The wiki article is at fault.

Why are these anniversaries never of nice things? Like the anniversary of that time that Betty Crocker created a fucking cookie or something. Why is it always, hey, just so you know, 110 years ago, 40 people were blown the fuck up and 10 more died. Just thought you'd like to know that, cuz fuck you and fuck your good day.

I posted this nice thing here three days ago, at least, and have posted plenty of others which also don't involve people dying.
