September hasn’t been the luckiest of months if we look at history. While September 11, 2001 will forever be etched in all our minds as a terrible nightmare, long ago in 1901, President William McKinley was shot which ultimately resulted in his subsequent death a couple of days later.

The fallen hero, Lance Armstrong was born in this month and so were a host of celebrities like Bruce Springsteen, Michael Douglas and Will Smith among others.

While the famous Oktoberfest is celebrated in Germany in late September and the Herbstmonat in Switzerland, the US celebrates the seemingly innocent “Apple Month”, “Sewing Month” and “Honey Month” in September.
