  3. Joseph Stalin’s real last name was Dzhugashvili.  He changed it to “Stalin” as he was rising to power . . . it means “man of steel.”
  4. Frank Sinatra had a fatal heart attack on May 14th, 1998 . . . right as the “Seinfeld” finale was on.  Since so many people were inside watching, the traffic in Los Angeles was light and he was able to get to the hospital faster than usual.  Not that it helped.
