Ching Chink Chinny Chin Chin

Note the following in regards to a notable persons recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site: 

• Jim Corrigall May 7, 1946 – July 15, 2026)football player (Toronto Argonauts), coach
• Vladyslav Duyun (9 May 1977 – 15 July 2026) 49, footballer (Spartak Moscow..
• Little Gerhard, (17 May 1934 – 14 July 2026) 92, Swedish singer, musician and songwriter

Their birthdays generate an interesting cluster on many accounts, for one, they’re part of a larger cluster  of May Dates occurring among notable deaths so far this month, found in my recent July 15 post Guy Scott, Lioness Heart in Africa, that I include in the research section below.  So the cluster now expands into a: 

“May 1, 2(x3), 3, 4, 5(x2), __, 7(x2), __, 9, __, …, 17/Date Sequence” pattern cluster

Another interesting thing to consider is that the 3 above  who passed away July 14 and 15, have birthdays that fall on uneven “audd” days, and so generating a 

“May 7, 9,__, … 17/Uneven Days, Date Sequence” pattern cluster

 …,a cluster within a cluster.  My sense is that we are being prompted to bridge the May 11 gap.  In which case we go to the  days wikipedia page, and using the formula we arrive at: 

1888  – Willis Augustus Lee, American admiral (died 1945)

1888 – Irving Berlin, Belarusian-American pianist and composer (died 1989)

Note from their wiki pages:  

• Willis Augustus "Ching" Lee Jr. (May 11, 1888 – August 25, 1945)
• Irving Berlin (born Israel Isidore Beilin; May 11, 1888 – September 22, 1989)

As is usually the case, one stands out as our next lead.  In this case, I’ve chosen Willis for reasons that are obvious enough.  For one, his middle name has “august” in it, and so in many cases parents will name a child after the month in which they were born, except that every now and this is not the case, … such as now with Willis (and myself— my name is “May” and I’m born in June).  BUTT…, here’s where it gets even more interesting— Willis died in August!!  AND, the date of his death, August 25th, is also the birthday of my grand daughter.  This is what I refer to as a “twin heads upp”… or perhaps in this case I should say “twin chins upp”, … because as you can see, his nickname “Ching” is an addition to the “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster and the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, both of which provide us with the word “chin” that in turn is an addition to the recent “Chin” pattern cluster…, and the “Body Parts Theme” pattern cluster. There are also 2 other words found in the name Ching via the “Exchange Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster , and so providing us with “chink” (note etymology research*2 below) “thing”

Simply key “chin 2026” into this blogs search box, and numerous posts that have a focus on “chin”, are brought up, and as I quickly scanned each one, one in particular stood out, given the following images and excerpt from  my July 4, 2026 post, Fallen Fallers (Part 4: At The Yates of Hell) (UPDATE 1 and 2 on July 5, 2026):

: 

I noticed that the spot under his eye is “tear drop shape”… so he’s crying… and with a hand rubbing his chin— pondering on something (what could that be?!).  I wonder where the inner twin world are heading with that one,… if anywhere?!  

And from the excerpt/text, you see the word “chin” is mentioned, and so why the search engine brought up the post.  So things that I didn’t pick up on then on July 4th when researching for the post, is the first image of Athena (note the error in the caption that references Athena as being male, butt SHE is actually a goddess).  Butt that’s now what entered my mind just now as I viewed the image, butt what stood out is the fact the one portion of her face that’s missing from the coin, is her CHIN… where there’s literally a “chink”.  As for the second image from the post above, and what I wrote below in describing the hidden image, I state “… and with a hand rubbing his chin”, again a focus on chin.  What stands out now is his chin— very unusually LOOOONG!!  So I googled, searching for the longest chin, and AI brought up the following: 

Jonouchi: A Japanese YouTuber who went viral for having what is widely considered the world's longest and most uniquely pointed chin

That is pretty long. So I investigated him, and AI then brings upp:

The Name: His online moniker, "Jonouchi," is inspired by a supporting character from the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga series (whose English name is Joey Wheeler), known for his distinct jawline. 

So there’s our next lead, note from the Yu-Gi-Oh! List of Characters Wiki page: 

The Yu-Gi-Oh! series, created by Kazuki Takahashi

Note from the creators wiki page:  

Kazuo Takahashi (October 4, 1961 – July 4, 2022)

WHOA!! His date of death is very meaningful (see this blogs Header), … and not to mention that my above post mentioned, was posted on July 4th!!  Note also from Kazuki Takahashi’s wiki page: 

Later reports stated that Takahashi had died in the afternoon of July 4 while assisting in the rescue of three others who were caught in a rip current.

Hmmm, “rip”.  Note this next info from the list of characters of Yu-Gi-Oh! Series:

Katsuya Jonouchi

Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (1998–1999), Hiroki Takahashi (2000–present) (Japanese); Wayne Grayson (4Kids) (English)

Do note the cryptic “way wane gray son” found in the name Wayne Grayson.  Not to mention the recent “Gray/gray hamTheme” pattern cluster.  

Of course there’s also the Athena wiki page to investigate. Limiting my search to more recent famous painters who depict Athena, one painters surname in particular stood out: 

• 
  
  
  Minerva and the Triumph of Jupiter(1706) by René-Antoine Houasse

So think about it — Houasse!?… of course I see the words “house” and  “ass”!!  First of all we have another addition to the “Ass in Name” pattern cluster and the “Ass Theme” pattern cluster  … and I’m also reminded of the TUSSH (you have to investigate this by keying it into this blogs search box)… it’s an acronym for “Two United Structure System Home”.  Of course the TUSSH is also a play on “tush” aka “ass”!!  The name also contains a cryptic “whose ass”.  Note the following info regarding notable persons mentioned on Houasse’s wiki page: 

• Nicolas Coustou (9 January 1658 – 1 May 1733) 
• Pierre Le Gros the Younger (12 April 1666 – 3 May 1719)
• Charles Le Brun (24 February 1619 – 12 February 1690)
• Michel-Ange Houasse (1680–  30 September 1730) 

As can be seen, two of the dates jive— an “May 1, __, 3/Date Sequence” pattern cluster… and/or “May 1, 3, __/Uneven Number Date Sequence” pattern cluster, … so we have two gaps, representing May 2 and May 5.   OH, and do note the cryptic “May won” in the date “May 1”!!  Also, speaking of chin… and because of the recent “Pig/Ham Theme” pattern cluster, … and now “House” cropping upp, I’m reminded of  The Three Little Pigs fable… with it’s focus on three pigs, three house built of different materials: straw, sticks and bricks, … and of course the part of the rhyme that goes something like this: “not by the hair of our chinny chin chin.  Note from the Three Little Pigs wiki page: 

• The Three Little Pigs
  The three little pigs leaving their mother in a 1904 adaptation of the story. Illustration by Leonard Leslie Brooke.

Note from the wiki page of the artist, Leonard Leslie Brooke: 

Leonard Leslie Brooke (24 September 1862 – 2 May 1940)

So there you have it, one cluster is completed: 

“May 1, 2, 3/Date Sequence” pattern cluster

Also, note the cryptic “Leo/lion less lie brook rook” found in his name.

*2 Etymology Research on chink(n): 

chink (n.2) "a split, crack," 1530s, with unetymological -k + Middle English chine (and replacing this word) "fissure, narrow valley," from Old English cinu, cine"fissure," which is related to cinan "to crack, split, gape," from Proto-Germanic *kino- (source also of Old Saxon and Old High German kinan, Gothic uskeinan, German keimen "to germinate;" Middle Dutch kene, Old Saxon kin, German Keim "germ"). The connection being in the notion of bursting open. 

Chink (n. 2) "a Chinese person," 1901, derogatory, perhaps derived somehow from China, or else from chink (n.1) with reference to eye shape.

Chink (n. 3) "sharp, clear, metallic sound" (especially of coin), 1580s, probably imitative. As a verb from 1580s. Related: Chinked; chinking
