What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

'Tiffany' would be a perfectly appropriate name for a character in historical or fantasy fiction. It is a nickname for 'Theophania' and dates from the 12th century.

Alexander is the oldest given name in continuous common use. Its earliest attested use dates to 1400 BC, when it was mentioned in Linear B inscriptions used by the Mycenaeans Greeks.
The name was also attested in Cuneiform inscriptions from the tablets in the diplomatic archives of the Hittite Empire, which mentioned a king of Wilusa named Alexandu. Wilusa is believed to refer to none other than the Homeric city of Troy (Illion) from the Iliad. Incidentally none of the names later mentioned by Homer is actually attested by inscriptions from the Homeric Age. The possibility that Homer made up the names could not be excluded.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

All of living descendants of the closest relative of Adolf Hitler who have any living descendants, are currently living on Long Island in New York. One of them have a rare interview a few years ago to express how much he loathed Trump.
That Harley can, and will, slither like a snake, through the mud, under the gate on the backyard and make a break for it.
