"My twin brother has been shot! I think it was an Albanian gang or something. There was this guy, he looked Albanian... and he was speaking another language... I'm pretty sure it was... Albanian."

Reply to TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain
And then he died penniless and insane, still trying to play a phonograph record with a peanut.

Jeez, imagine that guy showing up for work tomorrow morning and finding 50,000 redditors applied for coats of arms tonight.
