On April 21, 1918, in the skies over France, Manfred von Richthofen, the no- torious German fl ying ace known as "The Red Baron," is killed by Allied fi re when an Australian gunner shoots him through his chest.

By Samantha Weaver It was French novelist, essayist and critic Marcel Proust who made the following sage observation: "There is nothing like desire for preventing the things one says from bearing any resemblance to what one has in one's mind." The city of Denver holds the distinction of being the fi rst major metropolitan area to allow women to vote in elections, back in 1893. Connectivity may fi nally be going too far. Way too far. Beyond death, even. It seems that someone has now invented the so- lar-powered eTomb, a headstone that stores information from the deceased's social networking sites. Visitors to the grave can use a laptop or a smartphone to download photos, blog posts and even videos via a Bluetooth connection. Famed screenwriter and director Woody Allen started his career in show business in the 1960s as a writer for the TV series "Candid Camera." Strange but True In a traditional Moroccan wedding, the bride must be purifi ed in a milk bath and have her hands and feet painted with henna before the ceremony. A man named Stephen Burns holds a rather odd world record: He managed to hitchhike through all of the contiguous 48 states in less time than anyone else -- 26 days and 6 hours. You might be surprised to learn that the largest supplier of foreign oil to the Unit- ed States isn't Saudi Arabia, Libya, Iraq or Kuwait. In fact, we buy more of our oil much closer to home: from Canada. Between 70 percent and 80 percent of all the world's fresh water is frozen, stored in Arctic and Antarctic glaciers. Not all black bears are black; individuals in some populations around the world can be brown, white, cinnamon or even blue. *** Thought for the Day: "I envy people who drink. At least they have something to blame everything on." -- Oscar Levant (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc. PUZZLE PAGE ANSWERS (from page 20) MY CAT IS LOST and I miss him a lot.
