Phileas Fogg wagers that he can travel around the world in 80 days. (Oct 2, 1872)



Image result for around the world in 80 days
It was an eventful day for the rigidly scheduled Mr. Fogg. I mean, it’s a wonder he was able to get on with his day after that excitement about hiring his new servant Jean Passepartout at 11:29 AM, but then he went and bet the gentlemen at the Reform Club that he could circle the earth and return by 8:45 PM on December 21.

How to Commemorate

  • Plan a trip.
  • Make a bet that you can do something.
  • Keep to a schedule for once in your life!
