Amongst events that have happened around the world this past week include:
IN LIBYA:
*Former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi was killed by "rebels" in his home town of Sirte Thursday. While this event has since been confirmed, the final arrangements for the body have yet to be made, despite the fact that as a Muslim, Gadhafi's remains should have had been dealt with within 24 hours of his demise.
*Libya's liberation will officially be declared in a formal announcement Sunday as the first step to establishing a free democracy within that besieged country.
*STRANGE BUT TRUE: Guess what television series first predicted Gadhafi's death?
An episode of Second Chances, a short lived comedy starring Matthew Perry in 1987. The episode in question stated the dictators death as occurring in 2011, although it got the exact date for the event wrong. It can be found on YouTube by looking up "Second Chances, Gadhafi's death".
