589; U.S. Arctic explorer often credited with leading the first expedition to reach the North Pole, in 1909.

Through a combination of navigational mistakes and record-keeping errors, Peary may actually have advanced only to a point 30-60 miles short of the pole. The truth remains uncertain.

Petty Girl pin-ups
George Petty (1894-1975) was an illustrator who worked for Esquire magazine drawing sexy pictures of scantily clad girls, called "Petty Girls," a series of pin-up paintings of women done for Esquire from the Autumn of 1933 until 1956. Petty frequently depicted these women with the relative lengths of their legs being longer — and the relative sizes of their heads being smaller — than those of his actual models. These illustrations were so popular with US servicemen in WWII that bomber crews would paint copies of them on the sides of their aircraft. Petty was eventually replaced at Esquire with Vargas who worked a similar vein. You can see a Petty Girl peeking out between Marlon Brando and the waxen John Lennon on the cover of the Beatles' "Sgt.
