on this day in history...
1692 - bridget bishop, the first woman in salem found guilty of practicing witchcraft, is hanged.
1714 - 14 year old anne brennan kicks the crap out of a young man after he tries to make a crude pass at her. while he went on to spend several months recovering from a broken jaw, anne relocates to the bahamas before she dumps her husband, kills her boyfriend's mistress, sails the seas with pirates such as blackbeard and calico jack, and burns her husband's house to the ground. captured in 1720, anne is sentanced to death and would have walked to plank if not for an english law that forbade the execution of pregnant women. anne returned to america to have jack's child and is rumored to have settled somewhere in the west.
1752 - benjamin franklin's kite is struck by lightning
1910 - blues singer and harmonica player chester burnett aka howlin wolf is born
