Baked milk is a variety of boiled milk that has been particularly popular in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. It is made by simmering milk on low heat for eight hours or longer.
Kumis is a fermented dairy product traditionally made from mare’s milk. The drink remains important to the peoples of the Central Asian steppes, of Huno-Bulgar, Turkic and Mongol origin: Kazakhs, Bashkirs, Kalmyks, Kyrgyz, Mongols, and Yakuts.

Timothy McVeigh, the American domestic terrorist who perpetrated the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, killing 168 people and injuring over 680 others. perpetuated the deadliest act of terrorism within the United States prior to the September 11 attacks, and the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in United States history. He was executed on June 11, 2001, exactly three months prior yo the 9/11 acts.
McVeigh’s execution was carried out in a considerably shorter time than most inmates awaiting the death penalty; most convicts on death row in the US spend an average of fifteen years there.
The execution by electric chair of Alpha Otis Stephens on December 12, 1984 in Georgia did not go according to plan. “The first charge of electricity … failed to kill him, and he struggled to breathe for eight minutes before a second charge carried out his death sentence …”
After the first two minute power surge, there was a six minute pause so his body could cool before physicians could examine him (and declare that another jolt was needed). During that six-minute interval, Stephens took 23 breaths. A Georgia prison official said, “Stephens was just not a conductor” of electricity."
Electric chair executions were conceived in 1881 by a Buffalo NY dentist named Alfred P. Southwick after high voltage accidents in 1881 were killing people, usually unwary linemen, seemingly instantaneously. For example on August 7, 1881 in Buffalo, a drunken dock worker, looking for the thrill of a tingling sensation he had noticed before, managed to sneak his way into a power house and grabbed the brush and ground of a large electric dynamo. He died instantly. The coroner who investigated the case brought it up at a local Buffalo scientific society. That is when society member Alfred P. Southwick, a dentist who had a technical background, thought some application could be found for the curious phenomenon.
The electric chair was developed throughout the 1880s as a “humane alternative” to hanging, and it was first used on August 6, 1890 on convicted murderer William Francis Kemmler.
What people call the North American Buffalo are really Bison, which are more closely related to cattle than to Asian water buffalo. The wild Asian water buffalo is an endangered species, from which the domesticated water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) was tamed around 5,000 years ago.
There are two main types of domestic water buffalo. The swamp type is mainly found in China, Southeast Asia, the Philippines and Indonesia, is suited to hotter climates, used as draft and meat animals, and they have broad, wide horns, lighter-colored legs and large hooves. There are feral herds of swamp buffalo in Australia. River Buffalo originated in India and Pakistan. They have been bred toward dairy production, though they also provide meat and power. Large herds live in Bulgaria, Romania and Italy, and small herds are becoming established in the US.
The largest public bison herd in the United States can be found in Yellowstone National Park, where the size of the herd is estimated to be about 4,200 bison. Other large, publicly controlled herds of bison in the United States include the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Kansas (2100 to 2600 animals), Wind Cave bison herd (approximately 350 animals), the Antelope Island bison herd (approximately 550 to 700 animals), the Henry Mountains bison herd in Utah (400 to 500 animals), and the National Bison Range herd near Flathead Lake, Montana (400 animals).
Yellowstone National Park, which sits mostly in the northwest corner of the state of Wyoming, US, is situated on a caldera of a so-called “supervolcano”. This supervolcano has had three major eruptions in the last 2.1 million years. The largest of these eruptions was about 2,500 times as large as the Mount St. Helen’s eruption of May, 1980.
The Yellowstone Hotspot is among the most notable hotspots beneath the North American tectonic plate. The Raton Hotspot in New Mexico and the Anahim Hotspot in British Columbia are two others. Over a period of 16 million years, as the North American tectonic plate has drifted southwesterly, the Yellowstone Hotspot has stayed relatively stationary and scarred the earth’s surface of (most recently) northwestern Wyoming, southwestern Montana, southern Idaho, and 16 million years ago in northern Nevada and southeastern Oregon.
The Yellowstone Hotspot currently sits beneath Yellowstone Park, where 600,000 to 2.1 million years ago the Lava Creek supereruption formed the Yellowstone Caldera. About 7 to 10 million years ago this hotspot formed what today is Craters of the Moon National Park and Preserve in southeastern Idaho.
At one point, 70,000,000 years ago, Yukon is believed to have been over the Yellowstone hotspot, which was the source of the Carmacks volcanic group.
There were references to two separate Starfleet warp-capable vessels named USS Yellowstone in episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager.
USS Yellowstone (AD-41) was the lead ship of the Yellowstone class of destroyer tenders in the US Navy of the 1960s.
Yogi Bear, a Hanna-Barbera cartoon character, made his debut in 1958 as a supporting character in The Huckleberry Hound Show, and after a few years became more popular than Huckleberry Hound, earning his own show. Yogi lived in Jellystone Park, a variant of the real Yellowstone National Park.
On January 24, 41 AD, Emperor Caligula of Rome was assassinated by members of the Praetorian Guard. With Caligula’s death, his uncle Claudius rose to the position of Emperor.
Edit: Caligula was killed by stabbing, not by poisoning with huckleberries.
In the 1800s, “Huckleberry” was commonly used together with “persimmon” as a small unit of measure. “I’m a huckleberry over your persimmon” meant “I’m just a bit better than you.”
Double ninja?
Not quite. gkster had made the Yogi Bear post while I was researching the Caligula post, which I discovered after posting, so I edited mine to include some reference to gkster’s entry. Then, yours was on the heels of mine, but continued the huckleberry theme. 
Continuing the Huckleberry theme:
For Shakespeare fans, the most memorable passage in Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the performance by “the King”, a con-man who professes to be an actor but whose Shakespearean speech is a mashup of several soliloquies from Hamlet, Macbeth and Richard III, with ridiculous combinations of lines that he does not intend:
To be, or not to be; that is the bare bodkin
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would fardels bear, till Birnam Wood do come to Dunsinane,
But that the fear of something after death
Murders the innocent sleep,
Great nature’s second course,
And makes us rather sling the arrows of outrageous fortune
Than fly to others that we know not of.
There’s the respect must give us pause:
Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The law’s delay, and the quietus which his pangs might take,
In the dead waste and middle of the night, when churchyards yawn
In customary suits of solemn black,
But that the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns,
Breathes forth contagion on the world,
And thus the native hue of resolution, like the poor cat i’ the adage,
Is sicklied o’er with care,
And all the clouds that lowered o’er our housetops,
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.
'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.
But soft you, the fair Ophelia:
Ope not thy ponderous and marble jaws,
But get thee to a nunnery- go!
