Today in History:

1590 - John White, the governor of the Colony of Roanoke, returns from a supply-trip to England and finds his settlement deserted.
1634 - Urbain Grandier, accused and convicted of sorcery, burned alive in Loudun, France.
1868 - French astronomer Pierre Jules César Janssen discovers helium. Did he also discover its' voice changing properties?
1877 - Asaph Hall discovers Martian moon Phobos.
1903 - German engineer Karl Jatho allegedly flies his self-made, motored gliding airplane four months before the first flight of the Wright Brothers. What is this? A German made the first powered flight?
1909 - Tokyo mayor Yukio Ozaki presents Washington, D.C. with 2,000 cherry trees, which President Taft decides to plant near the Potomac River.
1914 President Woodrow Wilson issued his Proclamation of Neutrality, aimed at keeping the United States out of World War I.
1920 - 19th Amendment to US constitution passes, guaranteeing women's suffrage. (shaking fist) "I'll give 'em suffrage.

1991 - Collapse of the Soviet Union: Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev is put under house arrest while on holiday in the town of Foros, Crimea.
2005 - Dennis Rader is sentenced to 175 years in prison for the BTK serial killings. Wait a minute. By the time he gets out of jail, they won't remember why he's there in the first place. So,....you're saying that I'll be dead before he gets out of prison? How's that right?
