I always liked the quote "and Magda
Goebbels made a great strudel" and have used it in conversation. (Although a strong contender for it's replacement in my vernacular is "But the Dow is over 50,000")

The oldest known pyre, located in Alaska, dates back 11,500 years and contains the created remains of a 3-year-old child.
But HOR-1 in Malawi is the oldest example of adult cremated remains found in a pyre.

I love these Laws named after people who we have never heard of:
Stein's law says: Everything that can't go on forever eventually stops.
Stein was a conservative (in the political sense) economist who lived in the 20th century. Wikipedia known: Stein observed this logic in analyzing economic trends (such as rising US federal debt in proportion to GDP, or increasing international balance of payments deficits, in his analysis).
