The canine actor cast as Toto in "The Wizard of Oz" was officially credited as Toto, although in reality, the dog's true name was Terry. When Terry passed away in 1945, her owner and trainer, Carl Spitz, laid her to rest on his Los Angeles ranch. Unfortunately, in 1958, the construction of the Ventura Highway intersected Terry's burial site. As a result, her remains were disrupted and have yet to be located. Over fifty years later, a tribute was erected in Hollywood Forever Cemetery to honor her memory. However, this memorial is not an actual grave but rather a cenotaph—an empty tomb.

In California, a light bulb has been radiantly illuminating since 1901. Originally a 30-watt lamp, this remarkable fixture now emits a warm and cozy glow akin to a 4-watt night light. Its origin lies with French inventor Adolf Chaya, who crafted this hand-blown carbon filament bulb in the late 1890s. The bulb's journey took an intriguing turn when its owner donated it to the local fire department. Since then, it has rarely been turned off, rightfully earning the title of the world's longest-lasting light bulb. Now, let's delve into the topic of the lifespan of modern equivalents. The longevity varies based on the brand, technology, and type. Present-day bulbs can persist for over 20,000 hours. Despite technological advancements and progress, it's surprising that a light bulb from two centuries ago was more durable than recent iterations. This discrepancy extends beyond light bulbs – it seems that most products we acquire today tend to deteriorate faster than they used to. This phenomenon is due to something known as planned obsolescence. This practice involves companies deliberately designing products to degrade quickly or become obsolete within a short period. The ulterior motive is to encourage consumers to purchase new items or upgrades. Certain countries have taken measures to outlaw this practice due to its unfavorable consequences.
