Ten years ago: In a wrenching videotaped statement, aid worker Margaret Hassan, kidnapped in Baghdad, begged the British government to help save her by withdrawing its troops from Iraq, saying these "might be my last hours." (Hassan was apparently killed by her captors a month later.) President George W. Bush signed a corporate tax overhaul to close loopholes and provide $136 billion in new tax breaks for businesses, farmers and others.

Five years ago: Mortars fired by Islamic militants slammed into Somalia's airport as President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed boarded a plane, sparking battles that killed at least 24 people; the president was unhurt. Gunmen kidnapped Gauthier Lefevre, a French staff member working for the International Committee of the Red Cross, in Sudan's western Darfur region. (Lefevre was released in March 2010.) Comedian Soupy Sales died in New York at age 83.

One year ago: The United States defended drone strikes targeting al-Qaida operatives and others, rejecting reports by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International questioning the legality of attacks that the groups asserted had killed or wounded scores of civilians in Yemen and Pakistan.

Zachary Disease
-------------------------

"Diane, I just don't understand?! I don't have a boyfriend or a husband, I can never get a date and guys just don't seem interested in me. I don't know what's wrong with me."

"You know what", her friend replied, "I know a Chinese doctor that can help you".

So, her friend gave her the doctor's address and the next day she went to see him.

She tells the doctor what her problem was and he proceeded to give her instructions.

"Take off your crows", the doctor says.

"What, what did you say?" she replied.

"take off your crows", the doctor repeated, motioning for her to take off her clothes.

"Ok, now craw to the window".

"What?", she asks.

"Craw to the window" he said as he got down on all fours to show her what he meant.

So she crawled to the window.

"Now craw back to me" he says motioning her to come back.

"Ah-ha!", he says, "I know what your problem is".

"Well, doctor, what is it?" she says anxiously.

"You have Zachary disease".

"Zachary disease, what's that?" she asks.

"Well, your face looks Zachary like your butt".
