According to Wikipedia:

  • Barack Obama pardoned the 1,325th person of his presidency, Chelsea Manning
  • "Kernel Panic" is an action taken by an operating system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover"
  • "Realizing that several machines used to make cream-filled strawberry shortcakes sat idle when strawberries were out of season, James Dewar conceived a snack cake filled with banana cream, which he dubbed the Twinkie... During WWII, bananas were rationed and the company was forced to switch to vanilla cream. This change proved popular... [but] vanilla's dominance over banana flavouring would be challenged in 2005 following a month-long promotion of the movie King Kong"
  • "Burger King was a fast food restaurant chain in Edmonton, also known as Burger King Drive-Inn. It was founded by former Imperial Oil executives... It was not related to the worldwide Burger King chain... Its signature item was the mushroom burger... In 1975, the company held a franchise for Kentucky Fried Chicken in Edmonton, with its outlets promoting dual branding. However, as the market became more competitive, the relationship between the two companies deteriorated, with KFC taking legal action to end the partnership... Several Burger King restaurants [have since] joined the Burger Baron chain"
