AndyMan 7 #1 May 30, 2004 One hundred and fifty years ago, on May 30, 1854, the territories of Nebraska and Kansas were established. On this date: In 1431, Joan of Arc, condemned as a heretic, was burned at the stake in Rouen, France. In 1539, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto landed in Florida. In 1883, 12 people were trampled to death when a rumor that the recently opened Brooklyn Bridge was in imminent danger of collapsing triggered a stampede. In 1911, Indianapolis saw its first long-distance auto race; Ray Harroun was the winner. In 1922, the Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in Washington, D.C., by Chief Justice William Howard Taft. In 1943, American forces secured the Aleutian island of Attu from the Japanese during World War II. In 1958, unidentified soldiers killed in World War II and the Korean conflict were buried at Arlington National Cemetery. In 1971, the American space probe Mariner Nine blasted off from Cape Kennedy, Fla., on a journey to Mars. In 1974, AndyMan was born in Toronto, Canada. In 1982, Spain became NATO's 16th member. In 1996, Britain's Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were granted an uncontested decree ending their 10-year marriage. Ten years ago: The U.N. Security Council warned North Korea to stop refueling a nuclear reactor and allow U.N. monitors to perform full inspections. Mormon Church president Ezra Taft Benson died in Salt Lake City at age 94. Five years ago: Astronauts from the space shuttle Discovery rigged cranes and other tools to the exterior of the international space station during a spacewalk; then, the astronauts entered the orbiting outpost for three days of making repairs and delivering supplies. Kenny Brack won the crash-marred Indianapolis 500, driving a car owned by racing legend A.J. Foyt. One year ago: President Bush left for a weeklong tour of Europe and the Middle East. The U.N. Security Council unanimously authorized the deployment of a French-led international force in northeastern Congo, the scene of ethnic fighting.__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.
