However, countless people distinctly remember him dying in prison in the 1980s, but his death isn't the only example of a Mendel effect. The next one, and I'm kind of curious if any of you follow up with me at the end of this episode, which ones you knew or which ones you thought, you know, which ones you remembered incorrectly, because

this next example is one that for me I didn't know.

And it's that it spelled Looney T-U-N-E-S and not T-O-N-S.
