Very good question, never did the homework on that. I was very impressed with the man at his age fathering a child. Pretty much unheard of that I am aware.

In 1989, Russia sold their military fleet, the 7th largest in the world, in exchange for Pepsi. Who can guess what the first currency they offered was (clue: it's not difficult...)? 🥴

In 1983, Jane Birkin spilled the contents of her bag on a plane. The complaint she made to the stranger sitting beside her would change the future of the handbag. Guess how long the waiting list can be for a 'Birkin Bag'...

The rest of the story is interesting.
