Pi(e) day pi(e) facts: The guy introduced the Greek letter for pi was the father of the guy who discovered proto-Indo-European (PIE)
William Jones was born in London; his father William Jones (1675–1749) was a mathematician from Anglesey in Wales, noted for introducing the use of the symbol π. The young William Jones was a linguistic prodigy, who in addition to his native languages English and Welsh,[3] learned Greek, Latin, Persian, Arabic, Hebrew and the basics of Chinese writing at an early age.[4] By the end of his life, he knew eight languages with critical thoroughness.[5]

One was an FBI agent. The other was a Navy captain in the only happy part of his life, and other than that — as far as I can tell — mostly mooched off his father-in-law by working sinecures at his company.

The only king I recognize
Picture of Jack Kirby with the quote of him: “The only real politics I knew was that if a guy liked Hitler, I'd beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it.”

Takes five seconds, and might mean you can still get COVID boosters.

Looking at the first week of the new administration, it certainly seems like the theme of this new administration is going to be "there is a reason you don't do that." There's a reason you don't appoint violent alcoholics to run the department of defense...

/5 Openly caring about and adhering to values infuriates Trumpists. It spoils their joy. They will never be happy because of it. Keep doing it. Decency is a thumb in their eye.

The Skylab crash, if that counts as a major news story; otherwise the Iran hostage crisis.

Later in life, Hellboy decided that his name just wasn't plausible at the age of 57, had it legally changed, and a few years later got into the condiment business. The rest... is sandwich history.

But that's worse. You do get how that's worse, right, Charlie Brown?

This is not made up, these are the actual locations of the earthquakes' epicenters as shown on usgs.gov.
A zoomed-in map of north central New Jersey, north of I-78.  Marked are "Main earthquake epicenter" and "Aftershock epicenter".  Directly in line with the two epicenters, about as far away again, is "Trump National Golf Course Bedminster".

According to the auction house that sold it, this movie poster is from 1928. Mickey has red pants, gloves, shoes, and pupils. Which would imply that those features are out of copyright, even if they didn't appear in the cartoons until 1929 or later.
A movie poster, with text reading "Celebrity Productions Inc — present a Mickey Mouse sound cartoon — A Walt Disney comic — drawn by "Ub" Iwerks — The World's Funniest Cartoon Character — A Sensation in Sound and Synchrony" 
There is a drawing of Mickey Mouse, with red shorts, yellow gloves, brown shoes, and angled pupils.

Furthest I've been, by lat/long: N: Juneau S: Buenos Aires E: Tokyo W: Honolulu (If you do E/W by distance from home you get Singapore for E and Hong Kong for W, and that's just silly.)
