Mkayyy, how did their spawn (if any) fare? I'm too tired to go look that up.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Before Edgar Allen Poe sold his poem The Raven for $9, or roughly $300 in today's dollars, to The American Review, the owner of Graham's Magazine gifted him $15 after turning Poe down because he thought the poem was a cry for help.
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"

The Bong Bridge, connecting the town I grew up in, Duluth, to its sister city was named after him.

Apparently, Taiwan's educational system is insane enough that teachers routinely give 9-year-olds problems that the teachers themselves cannot solve.

Before refrigerators, Russians and Finns would put live brown frogs in their milk to keep it from spoiling.

Unfortunately the frogs kept drinking all the milk creating the necessity for invention of refrigerators.
Thank you frogs.
