Here’s mine:

Mozart had a pet starling, and when it died he arranged for a full funeral and burial, and composed a poem in memory of his bird, which he read at the service.

    Oxford got its name just the way it sounds. It’s located at a shallow spot in the river that was suitable for cattle to cross.

    There’s an episode of Doctor Who called The Doctor’s Daughter where the 10th Doctor, played by David Tennant, gets a daughter through some cloning machine shenanigans, played by Georgia Moffett. Georgia Moffett is the IRL daughter of Peter Davison, who played the 5th Doctor, meaning the Doctor’s daughter played the Doctor’s daughter. Moreover, Tennant and Moffet eventually got married and have a daughter, who is also an actor, Olive Tennant. So the Doctor’s daughter played the Doctor’s daughter and also has a daughter with the Doctor. Also the 5th Doctor is the 10th Doctor’s IRL father-in-law. I really hope Olive Tennant eventually plays the Doctor too, just to make it even more complicated.

    Also Georgia Moffett’s mum is Sandra Dickinson who played Trillian in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and her other kid is Ty Tennant who was the young Aegon Targaryen in House of the Dragon, meaning Christmas dinner at their house has a better lineup that most comic-cons.
