1969: S.S. Badger State explodes and sinks in the North Pacific.
See? Down goes another one... A sinking a day keeps the tragedy level of the news high...?
And in boxing news... uh... Muhammad Ali is the greatest...?!? I wouldn't know, really - I don't follow boxing!
1979: USSR invades Afghanistan.
It's okay - they're comrades... right?
Yeah... right!
1991: The gun Jack Ruby used to kill alleged JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963 is sold at an auction for $220,000.
See... it doesn't pay to do the crime... but it pays to auction off the weapon that was used to commit the crime!
Yeah... boxing Harvey would not have been as profitable - nor as satisfying!
