• Festivus is an annual holiday invented by writer Dan O’Keefe and introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a scriptwriter for the TV show Seinfeld.
• The Catalpa rescue was the daring escape, in 1876, of six Fenian prisoners from what was then the British penal colony of Western Australia.
