tamthebam Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Saturn has died aged 84. Saturn was an alligator. Originally brought to Berlin Zoo in the 1930s there was a rumour he was Adolf's pet. Not true although Hitler used to visit the zoo a lot. He survived the Second World War bombing of Berlin and at the war's end was found by British troops and given to the Soviets who took him to Moscow Zoo where the Russians called him Adolf Hitler and later Saturn. No points for anyone but an interesting story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Week 20 update There are weeks where a really famous person died and I saw it on the news or in the paper. There are weeks when someone died and a person or persons posted about it in this thread because they're due points. There are weeks where someone relating to a niche interest of mine dies and I'll know about it even if it wasn't mentioned here. There are weeks when you look at Wikipedia's 2020 deaths page for the last seven days and occasionally at least see a profession or a relationship to fame you recognise. This is not one of these weeks. The best I can do for you is Du Wei, but not the one that used to play for Celtic. With that in mind, this week (the 18th of May) is the 40th anniversary of Ian Curtis' death.The Independent has a nice piece here with interviews from Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and other people relating to Joy Division and Manchester. It's worth a read, even if you already know everything about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
