Well of course not. The point is that all of the ones who ate tomatoes ended up dying.
True, but I have a flair for the dramatic. 
I had to double check a few of these for accuracy. A few interesting things from the world of baseball:
Madison Bumgarner (2) had more grand slams than Prince Fielder (1), who had more inside-the-park home runs (2) than Rickey Henderson (1), who had fewer steals of home (4) than Babe Ruth (10), who had as many shutouts (17) as Pedro Martinez.
There have only been two players in MLB history with the last name Moyer: Ed Moyer, who died on November 18th, 1962., Jamie Moyer, who was born on November 18th, 1962.
Don Mattingly and Kirby Puckett played their entire careers during Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive games played streak.
Ripken’s streak began in 1982 and ended in 1998. There were surely many other players whose careers began and ended during the streak. Although, as you noted, probably none as significant as those two players.
And Fernando Tatis, Sr. had more grand slams in one inning than Fielder did in his entire career.
I remember that game. He hit both of them off of the same pitcher, which blows my mind.
Reminds me of one from aviation: The entire first Kitty Hawk flight would have fit inside of the cargo hold of a C5.
So, if the Wright flyer was inside a C5 which was on a treadmill, could they takeoff?

I’m employed by them (on the Patents side) so I didn’t exactly stumble across this, but 50K unused trademarks have been canceled.
The Patents and Trademark office regularly go through and discard unused or ancient trademarks that haven’t been used in a long time. I’ve run across a lot of these announcements in the course of my historical research. I don’t remember a case where so many were cancelled at once, though. Is this a new thing? Is this some Trump administration effort to “clear the ranks” or something?
That’s the idea but I don’t know who directed it. Somebody wanted to open those trademarks up to new users.
Sounds like they just took the word of any complaint asking for expungement without first reviewing them with what little staff was left after DOGE.
If they were redundant anyway, it would provide a handy statistic to divert any vandal’s attention from more destructive activity.

In Spain when a car goes way over the limit the newspapers like to write “He wasn’t driving, he was just flying low”. Guess the cops could not deny it in this instance 
That’s how I feel about land speed records set by vehicles that aren’t wheel driven: that they’re more or less airplanes skidding along the ground.
The term flying car was first used in newspapers to talk about a car that hit a curb and went “flying” into a building. It preceded what we now think of as a flying car by a couple of decades.
J.L. Wilkinson was the principal owner of the Kansas City Monarchs from 1920-1948. The Monarchs were one of the most dominant Negro Leagues teams during their existence. During the 30s, when the league was facing financial difficulties, Wilkinson took his team on the road, barnstorming across the South and Midwest, playing local teams. Wilkinson invested in a portable lighting system and hauled it behind the team bus, which enabled his team to play night games.
Wilkinson, who died in 1964, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.
The flying car was invented in 1903. Cars weren’t even “a couple of decades” old by then.
