Chris Mccandless 

Christopher Johnson McCandless (12 February 1968 – 18 August 1992) was an American wanderer who hiked into the Alaskan wilderness with little food and equipment, hoping to live a period of solitude. Less than five months later, he died of starvation near Denali National Park. In 1996, Jon Krakauer wrote a book about his life, Into the Wild, which inspired a 2007 film of the same name. (AKA ALEXANDER SUPERTRAMP)He lived in Magic Bus 142 during his stay in Alaska, & died by eating seeds which had a poisenous fungus on them.
McCandless was strongly influenced by Jack London, Leo Tolstoy, and Henry David Thoreau, and he dreamed about leaving society for a Thoreau-like period of solitary contemplation.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
