RWEv7

Can you feel that?

It's as if a million wikis cried out and were silenced. After badly paraphrasing Star Wars, here are the ones we were able to catch.

Quite the setup, wouldn't you say?

Antarctic Sound separates Joinville Island from the Antarctic Penninsula. Makes me cold just thinking about it.

The Burlington Bees are a Class A minor league baseball team affiliated with the Kansas City Royals. Apparently Burlington is one of the cheapest places to see a baseball game too. Didn't see that coming.

Robert H. Jackson was the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, as well as being Attorney General for a while and a Supreme Court justice. Alec Baldwin played him in the movie Nuremberg, so he must have done something right.

J. B. van Heutz, the Pacificator of Aceh, was Governor General of the Dutch East Indies in 1904. He got his crappy nickname by ending the Aceh War. Seriously, they couldn't find a better word than "pacificator"?

In 1962 in South Africa, Nelson Mandala left the country for military training and later got arrested, Steve Hofmeyr was born, and the UN imposed sanctions. What a crazy year!

There you have it. Woohoo. My apologies for not being able to get worked up about this week, I didn't get anything I could make fun of. Hopefully next week will be better.

As always, read last week's RWE here. Or don't. Up to you.

As an aside, this will likely be my last entry for a while, as I won't be blogging while I'm in Kingston. So, until next time, enjoy yourselves.
