  COLOMBUS DID NOT LAND IN THE NEW WORLD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
They did not work in metals -- and none of the spices known to Europe from the "Spice Isles" of the east are native to the Caribbean.
Conveniently, he did not quite manage to reach the city -- as the shoals about the island were "too shallow for his ships", and the people lived (he claimed to have been told) "inland".
Did he negotiate an agreement with his crew to overlook their crime of mutiny if they would collaborate his fanciful tale of discovery?

 McSweeney's Internet Tendency: "I Never Did Sing You a Love Song" by Maria Muldaur
Maria Muldaur was a little Italian girl from the Bronx who sang some blessed, bastard child of a three-way between bluegrass, jazz, and the blues, with pop stepping in as the responsible godparent.
Yet even as a child, "Love Song" disturbed me. Maria's voice is sweet as she sings, "I never did sing you a love song/I just laid my thoughts down in rhyme." But there is an edge to it, a sense of weary anguish that is made clear as the lyrics continue.
Maria tells her man that he's never hurt her, that she¹s never deceived him.

On Christmas Eve 1492 the Santa Maria ran into a coral reef off the coast of Haiti and, with the help of the local Indians, Columbus removed supplies, dismantled the ships timbers and established La Navidad, a colony around two houses donated by the local "cacique" or chief.
At first the Spaniards did not like it, but they soon had to accept it as it was superior to the moldy hardtack they had available.
His men were bitter that they did not find the wealth they were seeking, they found no cities, no money economy, no metal tools, manufactures or ores.

 : Saint Maria Goretti
Maria was born on October 16, 1890, in Corinaldo, in the Ancone province of Italy, into a family poor in earthly goods, but rich in faith and virtues.
Maria often mourned the death of her father and took advantage of the least occasion to kneel before the cemetery gate; her father was perhaps in Purgatory, and since she did not have the means to have Masses said for the repose of his soul, she tried hard to compensate with prayers.
Maria, seated on the threshold of the kitchen, was mending a shirt that Alessandro had given her after the meal, while watching her little sister, Teresina, who slept close to her.

Maria was a **** and she deserved to be punished.

 Did you know: Food History
In fact, it is impossible to determine whether carbonized grains and rachis internodes of free threshing wheat are hard wheat or soft wheat.
Professors Daniel Zohary, Maria Hopf, and W. van Zeist, cytogeneticists and paleobotanists cited by Sallares, do offer a theory about the first appearance of hard wheat, one based not on the identification of archeological remains but on deduction.
In medieval Tunisia, duwayda was typically eaten with chicken on ‘Ashura, the tenth day of the Muslim month of Muharram, sacred to the Shi’is because Husayn, the son the Ali, the Prophet Muhammad’s faithful follower and the fourth caliph, was martyred on this day at Karbala in Iraq.

I did not know Gary, but from what I have read, he would have been moved by the many tributes from his fellow writers.
Gary himsef did the math in his appeal for the old Narco News legal defense fund, published by Counterpunch in 2001 March.
The numbers change with the case, of course, but this is the kind of thinking we need to be organized enough, sufficiently connected with each other, to bring a measure of justice to people who have lost their jobs telling, so well, the truth on behalf of justice.

 Did Leonardo Da Vinci Fly?
The Great Bird was perched on the edge of a ridge at the summit of a hill near Vinci that Leonardo had selected, its fabric of fustian and silk sighing and the expansive wings shifting slightly in the wind.
Leonardo was certain that the dreams would cease only when he conquered the air; and although he did not believe in ghosts or superstition, he was pursued by demons every bit as real as those conjured by the clergy he despised and mocked.
All the while he did so, he felt revulsion; for he could not help himself, he could not control his thoughts, which were as hard and cold as reason itself.

 Did Pocahontas Save Captain John Smith?
To convict Smith of falsehood, we must find some strong motivation for him to act out of character, some evidence that the story did not happen (or lack of evidence that it did), and some reason to explain why no one seriously questioned the story for 250 years.
Only after Pocahontas and her husband had died did Smith first mention the story in print, and when he did, these writings of 1622 and 1624 present a different picture of his captivity by mentioning Powhatan's general cruelty and specifically his attempt to kill Smith.
In fact his captivity takes up only three sentences [13], so it is not surprising that the Pocahontas episode is omitted because there is no particular reason for it to be included.

 What Katy Did.
They did run as fast as they could, but time ran faster, and before they were half way to school the town clock struck nine, and all hope was over.
This she did with such good-will that the Millerites were glad to drop down again, and mutter vengeance at a safe distance.
They did not go to church in the afternoon unless they wished, but were pounced upon by Katy instead, and forced to listen to the reading of The Sunday Visitor, a religious paper, of which she was the editor.

While it is true that the NYT and WP did first print the War-on-Gore stories, it has always been my assumption that their respective decisions to run stories were the result of gradually caving in to incessant goading from right-wing pseudo-political orgs like Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch.
Did Clark really say that Kerry’s campaign would “implode over an intern issue?” Lizza was there.

 Britney Spears: Oops!... I Did It Again (2000): Reviews
Just because the Britney Spears Empire was not built on actual artistic merit doesn't mean the singer can't craft -- or have crafted for her -- a snappy and utterly enjoyable pop record.
I Did It Again proves beyond a doubt that Britney Spears is The One.
A few of the tracks hit the line right between dance and 90s pop perfectly, like Oops!...I Did It Again, Stronger and Crush, but others like Don't Come Knocking On My Door are perfectly horrendous.
