1960: Thursday November 24, 1960:
Wilt Chamberlain sets NBA rebounds record Record 100 Points same year on 3/2/1960.
On November 24, 1960, Philadelphia Warrior Wilt Chamberlain snags 55 rebounds in a game
against the Boston Celtics and sets an NBA record for the most rebounds in a single game.
1967: 11/24/1967: "Hello, Goodbye" was released as a single on 24 November 1967.
In the US, the song was also included on the Magical Mystery Tour album
released three days later, but the song was not made available in the UK
on an album (or in stereo) until the release of the 1973 compilation album 19671970.
With the release of the song, McCartney gave an explanation of its meaning
in an interview with Disc: "The answer to everything is simple.
It's a song about everything and nothing.
If you have black you have to have white. That's the amazing thing about life."
John Lennon was not fond of the song and called it
"three minutes of contradictions and meaningless juxtapositions."
"Hello, Goodbye" had also relegated his own composition "I am the Walrus"
to the B-side of the single.

Ted Bundy (Would have been 63 in 2009) 1946 - Died age 42
Born 24 November 1946 - Burlington, Vermont
Date of death 24 January 1989 - Starke, Florida.

Birth name: Theodore Robert Bundy / Height: 6' (1.83 m) / IQ of 124
Theodore Robert Bundy, or more commonly known as 'Ted'
was one of the most prolific serial killers in America.
The term 'Serial Killer' was invented and first used for Ted Bundy as a
description of his character. He confessed to 36 murders,
but nobody really knows how many had been committed
or when he began his legacy of horror;
he had gone to his grave without confessing the true total.
Ted was born to Eleanor Louise Cowell and a father that had taken off when Eleanor
found out she was pregnant. Faced with limited options in 1946, she gave birth to him
in an 'unwed mother' facility and began a hopeless charade:
as he grew up, she told him that her parents were his parents and that she was his sister.
It wasn't until 1974 when he realized that 238his mother had lied to him for so many years.
He grew to be a handsome, educated and intelligent man who was not suspected of
some of the heinous acts he committed.
Bundy even volunteered for a crisis telephone hotline
(where he met famed author Ann Rule who was also a volunteer)
and had a steady relationship with a girlfriend, a girlfriend
that would fuel his maniacal rage after she left him.
He was studying psychology in Seattle on January 31, 1974 when an attractive
psychology student at the University of Washington dis1c84appeared out of her bedroom.
Many more identical disappearances followed, many attractive young women would
suddenly fall off the face of the earth with no explanation.
His victims were generally young attractive girls with dark hair parted in the middle.
His M.O. was to approach his potential victim wearing an arm-sling or a cast.
He would introduce himself as 'Ted' and ask the girl to help him carry his books
Or packages he was having trouble managing because of his 'broken arm'.
Most would oblige seeing his handicap.
When they were alone he would knock them on the head with a crowbar,
stuff their bodies into his car, strangle them while they were unconscious
and then commit necrophilic rape.
He would then leave the naked body in a wooded area,
mostly Taylor Mountain in Washington State, where many of his victims were found.
Spouse: Carole Anne Boone (9 February 1980 - 24 January 1989) (his death) 1 child
Daughter with Boone, born October 1982
Had a daughter with Carole Boone during his years on death row.
This was highly unusual, as death row inmates are not permitted conjugal visits.
Married Carole Boone during his second trial, in which he was condemned to death row.
Acting as his own attorney, he called her as a witness.
He phrased a question such that an affirmative answer in front of a judge
and recorded by the court would legally bind marriage.
Although Bundy was only proven to be responsible for the deaths of 28 women,
is it widely believed that he killed at least 33.
According to Bundy himself in a taped confession, he killed more than 100.
When told that he was believed to have killed 36 women in six different states,

Pete Best (II) (63) 1941
Born: Madras, India / Birth name: Randolph Peter Best
Has two brothers, Rory and Roag.
Half brother Roag was fathered by Neil Aspinall, who lived with the Best family
in the late 50s/early 60s. Neil later became the Beatles' road manager and now
runs the Beatles' record company, Apple.
Mother owned a coffee/club in the family home's basement called the Casbah.
Drummer for the Beatles August 1960-August 1962.
Spouse: Kathy (August 1963 - present) 2 children
Father of two daughters, Buba and Bonita
Belatedly shared in the Beatles' success without him, when early recordings
featuring Best on drums were included in 1995's 'The Beatles Anthology';
Best's share of the royalties was projected at over $1 million.
Besides his lack of 'chops' as a drummer, the other reason cited for Best's firing
from the Beatles was that he'd never tried to fit in as a member of the group;
while the other members frequently spent their free time together,
Best usually went off on his own, even sitting alone during their breaks between sets.
He'd also kept his same ducktail hairstyle, when the band decided to adopt the 'Beatle cut'.
When he was first let go from the Beatles,
manager Brian Epstein offered to put a new group together showcasing Best.
Finding this more difficult than expected, Epstein finally pulled some strings
with another Liverpool band's manager, who invited Best to join them.
In the wake of the Beatles' success, Best was signed to a recording deal on his own,
resulting in the dubiously-titled LP 'Best Of The Beatles' (a reference to his former band).
The album went nowhere, and Best gave up his music career,
first becoming a baker, then later a civil servant.
