Continuing from my previous December 11th post, Me Laugh Ass … NO!!, note this excerpt:
Then this morning (I stayed overnight at my daughters place), my son in law came in the door after walking the kids to the school bus, and very shaken he repeated a gruelling event that one of the other parents told him— the night before a young boy (grade one) who lives on their street lost his hand in a meat grinder!!
Later that evening, my 5 year old grandson blurted out that a boy (who he named) got electrocuted. Very quickly, my 8 year old grandson stepped in, cautioning his younger bother, saying “shhh, we can’t talk about that”. So, I approached my son in law to see if he heard any more— was the boys hand electrocuted or was my 5 year old grandson mistaken,… perhaps he overheard someone say something to the effect “what happened to (the boy), is shocking”,… and he interpreted “shocking” to mean “electrocuted”.
Then two days later, this notable person was added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site:
- Nermin Abadan Unat (18 September 1921 – 11 December 2025)
- Amevou-Ludovic Assemoassa (18 September 1980 – 9 Dec 2025)
- 1988 – Alan Watt, Australian public servant and diplomat, Australian Ambassador to Japan (born 1901)
- Manzoor Ahmad Wattoo (14 August 1939 – 16 December 2025)chief minister
- Kowit Wattana (11 March 1947 – 15 Dec 2025) deputy prime minister, minister interior
- Sir Gerald Owen Watt (19 December 1938 – 13 December 2025)speaker House Rep
Watt is a Scottish surname, deriving from the Old High German word walt, meaning "power". The watt unit of power is named in honor of James Watt.
So what are the chances, that James Watt’s surname means “power” in origin, AND it’s used to define “unit of power” (to honour his steam engine that fuelled the Industrial Revolution). Note from his wiki page:
- James Watt (30 January 1736 (19 January 1736 OS) – 25 August 1819)
- Muhammad Moeen Wattoo (born 15 September 1955)
- Claude (15 September 1995 – 2 December 2025) albino alligator
- Bernard Charlot ( 15 September 1944 – 3 December 2025)
- Bung Moktar bin Radin (15 September 1959 – 5 December 2025)
- William Joseph Bauer (15 September , 1926 – December 15, 2025)
