At some point the “I’m going to see Alton Brown live” thread was right above the “Gene Hackman found dead” thread, and my brain combined them into “Alton Brown found dead.” I was like “No! Not him too!”

A “Freudian Slip”? Freud would say your brain interprets “sovereign” as “senior” because, subconsciously, and because of your wisdom and experience of many years, you ARE “sovereign” in relation to the rest of us.
Interestingly, there are many cultures who feel that way about their seniors who are then revered as the “ancestors” after their passing.

[How do you decorate a spaceship powered by a solar sail](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-do-you-decelerate-a-spaceship-powered-by-a-solar-sail/1015643)
I find that strings of multi-coloured LEDs on the sail do a nice job. Some argue for tinsel garlands on the spaceship itself, but I find that a bit gaudy.
