"TIL that on October 18, 1963 French scientists launched a rocket into space, containing a cat named Felicette. She orbited close to 100 miles above earth, then descended safely to the ground via a special parachute. Felicette has the high honor of being the only cat launched into space thus far."

#19 Perhaps they should have skipped 1994 (Arafat), 2007 (Gore and the IPCC), and 2009 (Obama). Obama was mystified as to why he got it (but he accepted the money anyway).

Matty, Yes. He had perfect pitch, and could tell you the notes on a keyboard as well as sing the tunes, play the instruments, and compose the arrangement, but he couldn't read or transcribe the music in his head. So others who could, did so for him in-studio with all the other musicians working with him. He was by most accounts, a perfectionist, so much so that he often kept crews in the studio for marathon sessions-- sometimes rearranging one song several times. Musicians and producers were exhausted by his quirks, but fascinated by his prowess in creativity and remained with him for decades since his insanity bordered on genius. lol Sad he was an odd duck, and suffered from definitive emotional dysfunctions, but he created some amazing music. The weirdo. lol

#19 Don`t forget that Gandhi was a racist. He lived in South Africa for quite a few years.
