Post subject:  GeekTool 2 and a RSS feed

Alright, this is a longshot but oh well... I got a problem, I have GeekTool 2 running on OS X (:P). I have a script: curl http://www.infoplease.com/rss/dayinhistory.rss | grep CDATA | sed -e 's/\(.*\[\)//' -e 's/\].*//'

It works... but it only ever displays History of US... and I want more than that. So, i found another RSS feed http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/otd.xml but every time i switch it for the above script it just doesn't feel like working... any help from the few Mac users here?

Been a while since I've used sed and gawk. I can't even read my own code anymore.
