WTF?!: The Week in Stupid
HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS: 2014 - Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur on their way to Beijing. There were a total of 239 people on board. The fate of the flight remains unknown to this day. 1983 - Ronald Reagan referred to the Soviet Union as an “evil empire” during a speech to the National Association of Evangelicals convention in Florida. It’s the National Association of Evangelicals I would call evil. 1979 – Philips demonstrates the compact disc publicly for the first time. 1971 - Eight people orchestrated a burglary and public distribution of government files from an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania. The theft was altogether different than the numerous contemporary draft board office break-ins, in which activists (including many of the burglars) burned government draft paperwork to interfere with America’s continued participation in the Vietnam War. 1921 - Little Lord Fauntleroy: The remains of a boy were found floating in a pond near the O’Laughlin Stone Company in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Authorities estimated he was between five and seven years old. He had blond hair, brown eyes and a tooth missing from his lower jaw. He had been struck with a blunt instrument. The boy could have been in the water for several months. He was dressed in a gray sweater, Munsing underwear, black stockings, a blouse and leather shoes; the clothing quality suggested the child was from an affluent family. Police displayed his body at a local funeral home, trying to identify him; no one claimed the body. The boy was buried 9 days later. 1782 - The Gnadenhutten massacre took place as some 90 Indians were slain by militiamen in Ohio in retaliation for raids carried out by other Indians. 1775 – An anonymous writer, thought by some to be Thomas Paine, published “African Slavery in America”, the first article in the American colonies calling for the emancipation of slaves and the abolition of slavery.
