Named after documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, the licensing deal was struck over a phone call with Steve Jobs in 2002.

“ …There is a breed of snake native to Australia called “Children’s Python.” It’s about 3 feet long and NOT venemous. The diet of the python consists of reptiles, birds, and small mammals.

It’s particularly fond of microbats, which it catches by dangling from stalactites in caves, which they commonly inhabit. 🦇 They sn**ch them out of the air as they fly past.

It’s a popular pet among reptile enthusiasts, which doesn’t necessarily mean you should buy one for the kids. But, It’s named after John George Children (who had 3 wives, but only 1 kid) So, not enough to say “children.’

He was a curator of the zoological collection at the British Museum until around the mid-1800s” -

Men also have them, too, but these glands have more prominent features in women due to estrogen.

They are named for Irish obstetrician William Fetherstone Montgomery, who labeled them in the 1800s.

Why do they call it Bluetooth? 🔵🦷

Why, it’s after Harald Bluetooth, who was the king of Denmark and Norway back in themed-to-late 900s
Bluetooth was the son of King Gorm the Old.

He introduced Christianity to Denmark, and he also constructed the oldest known bridge in southern Scandinavia. But, he is best known as the guy who united the disparate Danish tribes into a single kingdom.

The Bluetooth wireless design was named after the king in 1997, based on an analogy that the technology would unite devices the way Harald Bluetooth united the tribes of Denmark into a single kingdom.

The logo consists of his initials, H (ᚼ) and B (ᛒ), in ancient Scandinavian.
