The Spider was an American pulp magazine published by Popular Publications from 1933 to 1943. Every issue included a lead novel featuring The Spider, a heroic crime-fighter. The novels in the first two issues were written by R. T. M. Scott; thereafter every lead novel was credited to "Grant Stockbridge", a house name. Norvell Page, a prolific pulp author, wrote most of these. Unlike some contemporary pulp heroes, The Spider was willing to kill criminals, and when he did so he left a red spider inked on his victims. Page in particular wrote stories with violent storylines, often with science-fiction plot devices. Continuity from novel to novel was often disregarded, with characters killed in one issue appearing unscathed in later issues. Each magazine also featured short stories, occasionally including elements of horror fiction. Most of the cover art was painted by John Newton Howitt or Rafael de Soto. The magazine was cancelled in 1943 due to a paper shortage caused by World War II. ( Full article...)

1985 - TWA Flight 847 is hijacked by Hezbollah - since there's no artlce about this hijacking, can we come up with something else? RickK | Talk 05:04, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
1940 Auschwitz was opened by Nazi Germany I believe this is an incorrect date. The Auschwitz museum [1] says it was opened mid 1940. The Wikipedia article says Auschwitz I was founded on May 20, 1940. This should probably be removed from the list of June 14. Ydorb 23:42, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
A link to Flag Day in the United States would be nice, please. Maybe next year. Thanks. -- 64.229.230.103 17:25, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
June 14th, the birthday of Karl Landsteiner, the scientist who led the initial characterization of the ABO blood groups, is celebrated by international organizations such as the International Society of Blood Transfusion, the International Federation of Blood Donor Organizations and the World Health Organization (WHO) to promote blood donation. (See also http://www.wbdd.org/) It's too late this year, but hopefully, we can put World Blood Donor Day on MainPage next year. -- 199.71.174.100 ( talk) 23:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
So although the June 14 page says it was Hezbollah, the article itself is more ambiguos. I edited this page to say it was Hezbollah assuming the June 14 page was enough, and Zzyzx11 reverted it saying:
"the TWA Flight 847 article specifically mentions "Lebanese Shia Islamists" - until the contradiction is corrected on either of those pages, its best to leave no mention here"
So what should it be? I think it should at least meantion "Lebanese Shia Islamists with connection to Hezbollah" as the perpetrators. Ya'ir Hunter ( talk) 09:05, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
