A group studying the remnants of a partial skeleton found off the coast of Nikumaroro in the Pacific Ocean believe it could belong to Amelia Earhart.

Probably the Go-Go's original drummer. She and Belinda went out a fishing trip, but only Belinda came back weeks later, chubbier than ever. The drummer was never found.

It's a known fact that drummers have extra long arms. Cal-Tech scientists proved it.

Why is it only women seemed to hear her stateside? Obsessed with Earhart's trip and wishful thinking, or plumb full of it?


I'll stick with the L.A. Cannibal and her ex-drummer.

If only the bass player for the gogos would tour again with the band surely these questions could be answered.
