Five Little Glazunovs

Five Little Glazunovs a parody version of the nursery rhyme 'Five little monkeys' made by replacing 'Monkeys' with 'Glazunovs', and 'Mama' with 'Rachmaninoff'.

'Five little Glazunovs jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Rachmaninoff called the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed!"

Four little Glazunovs jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Rachmaninoff called the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed!"

Three little Glazunovs jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Rachmaninoff called the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed!"

Two little Glazunovs jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Rachmaninoff called the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed!"

One little Glazunovs jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Rachmaninoff called the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed!"'

The Five Hundred Families

The Five Hundred Families (the 500, the Families, etc.) means the richies who run the world and steal our wealth. The bosses’ bosses. They include the following celebrities:

The two dozen royal families
The 469 ultra rich families on Wikipedia’s “list of wealthiest families.”

Trump’s not really in charge. The Five Hundred Families are the ones who really run the world.

Theory of the Five Facets of Science

An expansion of the Four Facets model that adds a crucial fifth dimension: the Technical-Technological Facet. This recognizes science not just as knowledge, but as the engine of technique and technology—the practical applications, instruments, methods, and tools that science both produces and depends upon. Where the Four Facets model captures science as method, belief system, power structure, and institution, the Five Facets model adds the reality of science as a tool-making enterprise. This facet explains how scientific progress is often driven by technological innovation (the telescope, the particle accelerator, the DNA sequencer), how scientific knowledge enables technological transformation, and how the boundary between pure science and applied technology is perpetually blurred. The five facets together—Methodological-Logical, Religious-Ideological, Social-Political-Economic, Academic-Structural-Organized, and Technical-Technological—provide an increasingly complete framework for understanding science as a human activity embedded in material culture.

Theory of the Five Facets of Science Example: "The discovery of CRISPR wasn't just a methodological breakthrough (Facet 1) or an academic achievement (Facet 4)—the Five Facets model reminds us it was fundamentally a Technical-Technological (Facet 5) revolution that transformed what scientists could actually do."

Kettering Five

Da infamous group of shady-mechanic goons who conspired to make hand-crank-start engines obsolete.

True story: da "Kettering" and "Keating" characters were both named "Charles"; said similarity is what gave me da idea for da "Kettering Five". So da five cohorts under Kettering's self-starter regime might have been:
Alan Crankston (Google da real names yourself --- I ain't got time to 'splain all da puns to ya :P)
Dennis DeConvenience
John Generator
John McChine
Donald W. Regulator
