The first person added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2024 site:
- Kevin Sullivan, 74, Americanprofessional wrestler (WCW, NWA, GCW).[1] (death announced on this date)
- Kevin Francis Sullivan (October 26, 1949 - August 9, 2024)
- Bruce Alan Woyan (June 14, 1959 – February 7, 1992)ring name, Buzz Sawyer.
fuzzy (adj.)1610s, "soft, spongy;" a dialectal word of uncertain origin, apparently from fuzz (n.) + -y (2), but perhaps an import from continental Germanic. Compare Low German fussig "weak, loose, spongy," Dutch voos "spongy." From 1713 as "covered with fuzz;" 1778 as "blurred;" and 1937 as "imprecise," with reference to thought, etc. Related: Fuzzily; fuzziness.
So, “brut woman lawyer sayer police soft buzz”.
On the etymology site re “buzz”, I came across “buzz bomb”— the V-1 Flying Bomb :
The V-1 flying bomb ("Vengeance Weapon 1) was an early cruise missile. The Wehrmacht first launched the V-1s against London on 13 June 1944
On the bomb’s wiki page the following notable persons stand out:
- Roland Prosper "Bee" Beamont (10 August 1920 – 19 November 2001
- Finlay Crerar (23 March 1904 – 12 August 1965)
- Remy Van Lierde (14 August 1915 – 8 June 1990)
- Georg Hans Madelung (31 July 1889 – 17 August 1972)
Note the “August __, 10, 12, 14, __/even Day, Date Sequence” pattern cluster. And keep in mind that August 10, 1920 is also the 222 day of the year.
Since the 8th was yesterday, there’s someone there who stands out:
Issa Hayatou (9 August 1946 – 8 August 2024)
Dženan Uščuplić (18 August 1975 – 8 August 2024)
They were both born in August and died in August. The reason I selected Dzenan, was he died from a lightning strike… the real/first v-1 flying bomb!! In the last while, my investigations have brought up “tin” “bird” and “weather”. Note from his wiki page:
- He was struck by lightning during harsh weather conditions
Aka “weather”. I should have seen this coming?! Two other notable from the bomb’s wiki page fits as they died in August:
- Hanna Reitsch (29 March 1912 – 24 August 1979)
- Hellmuth Walter (26 August 1900 – 16 December 1980)
Generating an “August 24, 25, 26/Date Sequence” pattern cluster. My granddaughter’s birthday is August 25.
