My recent January 11 post, Eye Popper (POP Part 35), mentions a toy called the “eye popper” or “hopper popper”, and although a toy, it works on the physics of “Kinetic energy”, that when released, it flies up in the air with such incredible rebound action that it makes a loud “POP”. On thinking about kinetic energy some more, I’m reminded of the “whip”— again it too is able to generate kinetic energy at such tremendous speed that it breaks the sound barrier, and so the “crack” emanating from the tip.
So I began my search by googling “whip”, until following various leads I then arrived at the wikipedia page entitled, Peter (enslaved man), that displayed this shocking image!!!
On this site, of the 14 notable persons mentioned, three stand out:
- Mathew Benjamin Brady (c. 1822–1824 – January 15, 1896)
- Fanny Anne Kemble (27 November 1809 – 15 January 1893) “Francis”
- William D. McPherson (January 15, 1825 – October 9, 1867)
Now here is the interesting thing. TODAY is January 15th!! AND to top it off, January 15th is birthday of my son and my ex-partner (of 27 years), the two being born 22 years apart.
As well, the birthday of William D. McPherson that I found listed on the Peter (enslaved man) wiki page (see excerpt below), did not occur on January 15 as provided by Wikipedia— I googled and found his actual tomb stone that reveals it to be “January 11”. So given the similar mistake in my previous post’s investigation, we now have a “Mistake” pattern cluster in the works.
William D. McPherson
- BIRTH
- DEATH
- 9 Oct 1867 (aged 42)
- BURIAL
- MEMORIAL ID
As well, on googling Fanny Kemble, I found the News Article (here) announcing her death to be January 16th, but then I found her obituary site (here) that verifies her date of death as January 15.
Naturally I also googled to verify Mathew Brady’s date of death , and found many sources reporting his death to have occurred on January 15. So in all, we have a “January 15(x5)” pattern cluster in the works, and additions to the “Timely” pattern cluster and “Targeting Family Birthdays” pattern cluster.
Excerpts from the, Peter (enslaved man), Wikipedia page:
