Yowza...I'd completely forgotten about the Bell Beefer. The franchise by my high school would even sub in a hotter sauce upon request. I'd probably have some vein poppage if I had one today though.

I prefer this one, where it looks as though Macron has resorted to conversing in Italian

Jonathan, Seychelles giant tortoise
Jonathan was hatched in 1832 and is currently the oldest living animal in the world.
He is now blind but is maintained through a special diet prepared for him. The female tortoise with whom he has been mating since 1991 is now believed to be male.
He lives on the island of Saint Helena, having arrived there in 1882.

Rural Baseball In California, 1860s
For what it's worth, baseball is related to cricket, rounders and other European games, and was not invented by Abner Doubleday.
The earliest references to baseball of any kind date to the late-1600s in England, date to the late-1700s in North America and in fact, the first reference to a more recognisably modern game of baseball in North America is actually found in Ontario, now in Canada but then still a British colony, in 1838.

A class photo including the renowed philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (second row from top, third from the right). However, his classmate (top right corner) is arguably even more well known...

Wittgenstein, whilst smart, had a reputation for beating the 🤬 out of kids iirc.

Donald Campbell piloting Bluebird K7 on 4th January, 1967.
In his bid for an 8th water speed record (aiming to go beyond 300mph) at Coniston Water in the Lake District, Cumbria, the hydroplane experienced stability issues having been clocked at 320mph at the measured kilometre on his second run. It started to bounce out of the water, then eventually lifted up and into a backflip, eventually crashing nose first and cartwheeling across the water. Campbell died instantly: his body, and K7, were never recovered from Coniston Water.
After a 22 year restoration program led by Bill Smith (who had lead a dive team to recover the wreckage and Campbell's body in 2001), Bluebird returned to the water on 4th August, 2018. The engine was successfully restarted whilst the hydroplane was afloat on Loch Fad, on the Isle of Bute in Scotland. It will eventually be housed in a purpose built wing at the Ruskin Museum near Coniston Water.
