"'Ha ha' and 'he he' signify laughter in Latin and in English, because they are cried out when laughing." Wonderful evidence here in Ælfric's Grammar that 'ha ha' has been the sound and spelling of laughter in English since at least the 11th century and the Old English period.

Radical abolitionist John Brown was executed on this day in 1859 for trying to spark a revolution to free millions held in bondage. His soul goes marching on.
