… POP (Part 2)

Anyone viewing this blog on a regular basis would know that I analyze what I refer to as pattern-clusters mostly surrounding the recent deaths of notable persons, and for this I rely on Wikipedia.  Note the incredible pattern cluster concerning two notable persons added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2024 site yesterday, that I wrote about in two posts made yesterday :

• Paolo Pillitteri(5 December 1940 – 5 December 2024) 84,…mayor of Milan.
• Jacques Roubaud (5 December 1932 – 5 December 2024) 92, writer, mathematician.

As far as I recollect, this is the first time in over a decade of blogging, where Wikipedia Notable Deaths site lists two notable persons having died on their birthdays on the same day!!  AND, because Wikipedia lists recently deceased in alphabetical order the two are listed one immediately after the other.  This may change as other individuals are added to the list.  

Their names are also part of the strategic design and serves to generate a cryptic communication.  For instance, the surname “Pillitteri” is an addition to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, and so giving us two words— pill and litter (note the etymology of litter below).  

At present, two more individuals have been added to the December 5th list since I last checked: 

• Thom Christopher (October 5, 1940 – December 5, 2024) 84, actor (One Life to Live, Loving, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century).
• Evgeny Velikhov (2 February 1935 – 5 Dec 2024) 89, Russian Academy of Sciences.

The name “Thom” is a twin heads up given that the name “Thomas” means twin in origin.  And do note, he was born on the “5th” day, generating an “October 5, __, December 5/5th Day/Month Sequence” pattern cluster.  I take that as another heads up.  

Another heads up.  Yesterday I received an email from the Evolutionary Anthropology site that I subscribe to via Quora, promoting an article, and on reading it, one name stood out in the article— Walter Cannon.  His surname peaked my curiosity given the “Dynamite” aspect of my last post… they are related after all— “Explosive Forces” pattern-cluster.  Note from Walter Cannon’s wiki page:

• Walter Bradford Cannon (October 19, 1871 – October 1, 1945)

Keep in mind that Walter is an addition to the “Remove a Letter from Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster…, and in this case it provides us with two words— “alter water”.  So my Tou sense worth—something explosive is going to occur to “alter water”.  This can be taken literally and/or figuratively.   I’m reminded as well that my surname is “Ocean”.  

____________________________

Note the etymology: 

litter (n.)

c. 1300, "a bed," also "bed-like vehicle carried on men's shoulders" (early 14c.), from Anglo-French litere "portable bed," Old French litiere "litter, stretcher, bier; straw, bedding" (12c.), from Medieval Latin lectaria "litter," from Latin lectus "bed, lounge, sofa, dining-couch," from PIE *legh-to-, suffixed form of root *legh- "to lie down, lay."

Altered in French by influence of lit "bed." The meaning was extended early 15c. to "straw used for bedding" (this sense is early 14c. in Anglo-French) and by late 15c. to "offspring of an animal at one birth" (that is, in one bed). Litter by 19c. had come to mean both the straw bedding and the animal waste in it after use. The sense of "scattered oddments, disorderly debris" is first attested 1730 and probably is from litter (v.) "provide with bedding" (late 14c.) and sense extended from the image of strewing straw.
