That isn't a question. You could have started a new thread to see who knew that. I'm impressed, as I didn't; I was obviously talking when that gem of knowledge was announced.
"Gordon Bennett" was the editor of the New York Times who sent Henry Morton Stanley to search for David Livingston in Africa.
Bennett was a fiend for trying to get the hottest (and wierdest) news stories, and was renowned for sending reporters off on what turned out to be wild goose chases; reporters would emerge from Bennett's office, clutching the latest assignment, and exclaim "Gordon Bennett!!! look where he's sending me now....."
