George Washington Carver aboard a sinking oil ship, spontaneously gave birth to a head of iceberg lettuce and, most notably, invented time with nothing more than toothpicks and chewing gum.
Sadly, George Harrison is dead - somehow, though, he has managed to record another album. Weird. Actually, this is a good thing.
