One brother, Adi Dassler, formed Adidas
The second brother, Rudi Dass, formed Ruda, before changing two letters and naming the company PumaDespite being a member of the Nazi Party, Adi Dassler gave running shoes to Jesse Owens, which he wore in the 1936 Berlin Olympics

Adding my new word to this thread.
Guyot: A flat-topped, extinct submarine volcano having an elevation of over 1,000 m (3,280 ft) above the ocean floor. Guyots are thought to form as volcanos in sea-floor spreading zones and to become extinct as they move away from the spreading zones through plate tectonic forces. Here is a picture of a guyot in the Afar Depression in Ethiopia. The Awash River is seen across top left.

All the more impressive when one considers that you fit 250 shots into those 75 minutes.

That is really fast. Were you doing the speed golf?

My 75 minutes with 81 strokes would be 156, not really competitive. Maybe if there was an old man competition.

I hate when they use photos of other galaxies and call it the Milky Way and of course the location of the solar system is not correct either.
But the number of orbits remaining is accurate.

Yes, solo. Lately it has been with 2 or 3 other guys. But I had a solo day and decided to speed it up. I think I could get under an hour if I pushed.
