On Dec. 23, 1999, an unemployed musician named Cristin Keleher broke into George Harrisonā€™s home on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Keleher either made herself a pizza or ordered one in (varying stories), drank some root beer, did her laundry & called her mother in New Jersey, before authorities arrived & arrested her.

Keleher spent four months in jail for burglary & theft. She was found dead in an apparent murder/suicide in Truckee, California on Dec. 19, 2009.

A week after that incident Harrison was stabbed by another stalker lunatic at his home in London. A year later he died of cancer.

Brian Cranston guest appears in the ā€œFestivusā€ episode of Seinfeld ā€˜The Strikeā€™.

He was a regular guest on the show as dentist Tim Watley. Watley was a gentile who posed as a Jew to the annoyance of the other characters.

Before a Christmas Carol was written, goose was the main food eaten at Christmas. Scrooge bringing turkey to Tiny Tim was one of the reasons Turkey took over

As I think about it, itā€™s entirely possible that Iā€™ve never tasted goose in my life.

Nah, the meat is really nice, it has a lovely flavour, incredibly fatty alright but you donā€™t have to eat the fat, and you wouldnā€™t eat much, itā€™s very rich
