Mon 4/14/25-Just Staying For My Pension…Slow European Video Games…& Poor Orphan Birthday-less Rat!

In 1878, there was a U.S. Supreme Court Justice named Ward Hunt, who suffered a stroke that left him unable to either attend court sessions or to render opinions.  Yet he refused to resign for another four years. It wasn’t political . . . he only did it to stay long enough to claim his pension.

For the original Nintendo to be compatible with European TVs, there had to be special versions of the games that ran 17% slower . . . and were actually much easier as a result.

The reason Chuck E. Cheese loves celebrating birthdays is . . . according to a book on his origin story, he’s an orphan who didn’t know his own birthday so he loved other kids’ parties.
