I don't read comics anymore, but to my amazement, I think I sometimes still see Prince Valiant...

Prince didn't like memories, he used to say memories are unhealthy. Whenever people left his close circle, he would burn bridges. He was known for being good at not maintaining friendship once they left. However, Prince rewarded loyality by keeping people on the payroll for many years and decades.
After Prince divorced his first wife Mayte Garcia he had the house they were living together demolished. It was his way of erasing "old" memories.

Quite to the contrary, Prince always intended his studio Paisley Park to become a museum, filled with old memories.

Nixon,
responsible for women's rights as we know them,
responsible for environmental regulations as we know them,
responsible for gun control as we know it,
and for pulling our boys outa Nam'.
And the Clean Air and Water Act.
And the Endangered Species Act.
And OSHA
the EPA
Happy Watergate Day!

Also, the first national convention of The Republican Party,
Bunker Hill Day, and uh,
the day we lost Rodney King, (Makes me wonder what he would say about this mess we're in now)
And the Charleston Massacre, and uh,
Occupation of the Latvian Republic Day...
So, I'm not a crook & don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes & can't we all get along...

Spider-man was ended a short time after Stan Lee's death.  

The others I don't know about.

Here's another fact for you.  Stan Lee was unable to watch most of the marvel movies he appeared in.  In the last several years of his life, his vision was so bad, even things only a foot or two away were just a blur to him.  He was a also unable to read anything, which he was really sad about.

Marcel Petiot aka "Docteur Satan" was a serial killer active during World War II.  When his crimes where discovered, he grew a beard, and adopted the name "Henri Valeri".  "Henri Valeri" joined the police force and was assigned to capture Marcel Petiot.  Eventually he was caught when somebody actually recognized him.

During the Nigerian Civil War, the two sides agreed to a 48-hour cease-fire so they could watch a Pele' play a soccer game without having to worry about the war.

Although in almost every version I've seen of the 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' the doctors name in pronounced as 'Jeckle', according to Robert Louis Stevenston it should be pronounced 'GeeKill'.

When Doritos got started in Europe they didn't know how to advertise "Cool Ranch" in Germany because germans weren't familiar with Ranch dressing or the ranch flavor in general. They played around with the idea of incorporating "Buttermilk" as a name for the chips but they eventually settled on "Cool American".

Wayne Gretzky holds the record of points per game in the NHL.  he earned the record well after he had actually retired. 

He used to be 2nd only to Mario Lemieux, but Mario came out of retirement and ended up lowering his average, pushing Wayne into the number 1 spot.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
