Thomas Edison

Hugh Thompson Jr.
Thompson is credited with ending the Mỹ Lai massacre during the Vietnam War by landing his helicopter so as to block advancing American soldiers from reaching more civilians, then reporting the murders up the command chain until an order was given to stop the killing. He was so disgusted by the Army's cover-up of the incident, including their fabricated explanation for the Distinguished Flying Cross that he was given for his intervention, that he threw away the award. Go »
Hugh Troy
Troy was a painter known for pulling off a long list of public pranks, including making animal tracks across Cornell University with a fake rhino foot, smuggling dried beef in the shape of a severed ear into a Van Gogh museum exhibit and passing it off as the artist's real ear, and dressing in a maintenance worker's outfit to steal every light bulb in the Waldorf Astoria hotel. Little evidence exists for his claims; in the years since his 1964 death, it has become commonly accepted that most of them never actually happened. Go »
Rob Reiner
This goo was created in the aftermath of the murders of Reiner and his wife Michele, with which his son Nick has been charged. The 2015 film Being Charlie was written by Nick about his struggles with drug addiction and directed by Rob as a way for the pair to bond. Go »
Al Leong
Leong was a familiar face in dozens of action movies from the 80s and 90s. In Die Hard, he ad-libbed stealing a candy bar from a display case, which led to the filmmakers giving him more screen time and established his career. He went on to play Genghis Khan in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Go »
Kristi Noem
Noem is the secretary of homeland security. She made appearances at numerous ICE raids in 2025. Her last name is pronounced "gnome," as in garden gnome. Go »
