Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young, winner of 3 Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers, is a great-great-great grandson of Brigham Young, namesake of his alma mater university.
That Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu was dedicated on October 12, 1963 as a way to preserve the cultures of the eight Polynesian cultures of Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, the Marquesas, New Zealand, and Rapa Nui, as well as to provide job opportunities for graduating students from BYU-Hawaii.
Samoas (if baked by LBB) and Caramel Delites (if baked by ABC) account for 19 percent of sales of Girl Scout Cookies in the US. The top seller is Thin Mints (same name from both bakeries) at 25%. Samoas are vanilla cookies coated in caramel, sprinkled with toasted coconut and laced with chocolatey stripes.
From its inception in 1912, the Girl Scouts has been organized and run exclusively by women, for girls and women.
Juliette Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, held elaborate teas for the Girl Scouts in her mother’s parlor in her Savannah mansion as a way to recruit girls to the movement.
(No word on whether Samoas were served)
Thomas Lipton is a famed Glasgow tea tycoon, but before tea he was known for bacon. Lipton ran a bacon shop in the Anderston area of Glasgow.
“Tycoon” comes from the Japanese word “Taikun” meaning “Great Lord.” It was used by the Japanese in formal diplomacy to refer to the Shogun.
When James Clavell’s book Shogun was adapted as a Broadway musical, critics found the plot cuts incomprehensible. One of the most exciting moments was an accident, with a piece of scenery knocking out the leading man.
The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial was the only Broadway production in which “Broadway Joe” Namath appeared. On Broadway. This nickname was given to Namath by offensive tackle Sherman Plunkett in 1965 after Namath appeared on the July 1965 cover of Sports Illustrated in his NY Jets uniform and the lights of Broadway in the background.
The 50th anniversary of that iconic Sports Illustrated cover was last July, July 2015. For that anniversary, NY Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis recreated that pose for the July 2015 issue of Sports Illustrated. That article also included a recreation of Namath’s pool-side lounge chair interview where he guaranteed victory over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. In the Darrelle Revis recreation, Joe Namath is there as one of the “reporters”.
Michael Caine (né Maurice Joseph Micklewhite) took “Caine” as his stage name on the spur of the moment, when he saw the billboard for the Caine Mutiny.
In 1993, American Michael Peter Fay (born 30 May 1975) pleaded guilty to vandalizing cars and stealing road signs in Singapore. He was charged with more than fifty counts of vandalism to cars. Car vandalism in Singapore had been on the rise at the time. Cars parked at apartment blocks were being damaged with hot tar, paint remover, red spray paint, and hatchets. Taxi drivers complained that their tires were slashed. In the city center, cars were found with deep scratches and dents. One man complained that he had to refinish his car six times in six months.
As allowed under Singapore law, Michael P. Fay was subjected to public caning for his offense. Fay was sentenced on March 3, 1994 to four months in jail, a fine of 3,500 Singapore dollars (US$2,214 at the time), and six strokes of the cane. Michael Fay duly received four strokes of the cane across his bare buttocks on May 5, 1994 at Queenstown jail. Fay was 18 at the time.
Public opinion polls in America then were mostly supportive of Fay’s punishment. A significant number of Americans were in favor of the caning, claiming that Singapore had a right to use corporal punishment and that the United States did not mete out severe enough punishment to its own juvenile offenders. The Singapore Embassy received “a flood of letters” from Americans strongly supporting Fay’s punishment, and some polls showed a majority of Americans favored it.
Fay was released from prison in June 1994 when he was 19, and he returned to the United States.
Several months after returning to the US, Fay suffered burns to his hands and face after a butane incident and was subsequently admitted to the Hazelden rehabilitation program for butane abuse. In 1996, Fay (then 21) was cited in Florida for a number of violations, including careless driving, reckless driving, not reporting a crash and having an open bottle of alcohol in a car. In 1998, still in Florida, Fay (then 23) was arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, charges to which he confessed.
Added: So, yeah, Michael Cane, not Michael Caine, is my play here. 
Vina Fay Wray (1907 – 2004) was a Canadian-born American actress with a career that spanned 57 years and dozens of movies, but is most noted for playing the female lead in the 1933 version of King Kong.
ETA; There are not enough strokes of the cane to punish you for that joke, Bullitt.
Thank you, sir, may I have another? 
In play:
The 2005 version of King Kong was set in the year 1933 as an homage to the earlier version of the film. Set in the Great Depression, the 2005 movie opens with a scene where down-on-her-luck actress Ann Darrow tries to steal an apple from a fruit stand.
The Great Depression had a particularly disastrouis effect on India. In 1900, India and Western Europe had about equal shares of the world’s wealth. But during the Great Depression, the British Raj drained off India’s wealth, mostly by converting food agriculture to cash crops, mainly cotton for the British textile industry. By WWII, India’s share of global wealth had dropped from over 20% down to 4%, and led to the revolt and India’s independence.
Every major country left the gold standard during the Great Depression. The first country was Great Britain in 1931, followed soon by Japan, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Italy and the US left it in 1932-1933, and then in 1935-1936 France, Poland, Belgium and Switzerland left.
William Jennings Bryan decried the Gold standard in his 1896 campaign speech, with the memorable line “you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold”. This “cross of gold” speech brought him to national prominence.
Countries like China that were on the silver standard instead of the gold standard almost avoided the great depression altogether. China and Hong Kong were the last to abandon the silver standard, doing so in 1935.
The Lone Ranger is a fictional masked former Texas Ranger who fought outlaws in the American Old West along with his trusted Indian friend Tonto and his horse Silver. According to the episode “The Legend of Silver” (September 30, 1938), before acquiring Silver, the Lone Ranger rode a chestnut mare called Dusty. The Lone Ranger saves Silver’s life from an enraged buffalo and, in gratitude, Silver chooses to give up his life in the wild to carry him.
Texas Ranger Frank Hamer kept several guns from the arsenal and personal effects of Bonnie & Clyde as souvenirs after his ambush and killing of them. Portrayed in the movie Bonnie and Clyde by Denver Pyle as being bitter at the pair for capturing and humiliating him, but in fact he never met them until the fatal ambush. They would not likely have survived if he had as the man was quite the badass who was shot numerous times but killed 70 people during his career.
Tbe Buckieye tree, the state symbol of Ohio and often called the Horse Chestnut in other places, is completely unrelated to the family of true Chestnuts, but with a very similar (but inedible) nut. The true Chestnut was virtually wiped out in North America the early 20th century by a*** fatal *** (anti-ninja) blight, which destroyed about four billion trees.
