And now the highlights of February 7th through the years.  For all you guys out there it looks like 1985 was a big year!

1940: Walt Disney's cartoon movie "Pinocchio" premiered at the Center Theatre in New York City.

1959: Over a thousand mourners attended 22-year-old Buddy Holly's funeral at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Lubbock, Texas. Holly's pregnant wife Maria Elena, who miscarried shortly after her husband's death, did not attend.

1964: Pan Am Flight 101 arrived in New York City bringing the Beatles for their first American tour. Some 10,000 fans were waiting at Kennedy airport. Baskin-Robbins introduced a new ice cream flavor called Beatle-Nut.

1971: Women in Switzerland finally won the right to vote.

1979: Burglars blew a safe in Bielefeld, Germany, and the whole building collapsed around them. It seems the safe was filled with dynamite.

1985: Sports Illustrated published the largest edition in the magazine's history at 218 pages -- its annual swimsuit edition.

2001: Doctors said a man in Kirov, Russia, survived an eight-story fall off a balcony because he was so drunk. Snow also softened the blow, but the man still broke five ribs and doctors said the fact he was so relaxed probably saved his life.
