| ahh, Daniel Pearl, I was once banned by a certain UKTV torrent site for daring to post a link to the video of him being killed. I didn't force anyone to watch it, and didn't even watch it myself, but apparently I was almost as bad as his killers for doing so. |

1890- Nellie Bly begins her around the world journey
_________
I had never heard about her before today. It's interesting she is also lived in Pittsburgh. I haven't even heard much about her here. But I think I am going to have to look into her more. She seemed a very interesting woman and brave as well. |

Well, seeing as how I never knew all the words and no one ever seemed to know what it was about when I asked them, I never bothered to find out who wrote it.
But I am glad I learned about him. |

I think I know the tune better than the actual words.
However, I am looking forward getting to a library when I can and getting some of his poetry and finding out some more about him. |

1966-Beaumont Siblings Disappear without a Trace
The Beaumont children's disappearance from a popular Australian beach launched what would become the largest police investigation in Australian criminal history. On a hot summer day in 1966, 9-year-old Jane Beaumont took her 2 younger siblings to a nearby beach; they never returned home. Police investigations revealed that the children had been seen with a strange man and later walking alone, but the case remains unsolved. |
