Amelia Earhart

Back in December, there was an article in the newspaper which grabbed my attention. Researchers believed that they had discovered some bone fragments and 1930s artifacts on Nikumaroro Island in the Pacific Ocean. Earhart's disappearance on her round-the-world flight has long been a mystery and well... it would be kind of cool if they had figured it out. We like our mysteries... but we also like it when they are finally solved. We like to know that something has been tied up neatly and tidily... That there can finally be closure on something. Mind you... that just sends us off to the next thrill and the next hunt... We are explorers by nature I think. We want to know things, to find things out... to discover and uncover things...
