> "Why did X have an omelette for lunch" is not going to have a Wikipedia article, let alone people talking about it over half a century later.

You are being circular in your reasoning. The OP is saying that for an event that is not so odd or eventful, it receives a disproportionate amount of attention including its own Wikipedia article. He goes on to explain why it's not odd or eventful.

You're saying, "Of course it's odd and eventful! It has its own Wikipedia article."

I think there might be some word confusion here. I believe you're using "odd" just to mean "unusual," while others are taking it to mean something like "there must be a weird explanation" or something like that.

Yes, I realized that may be the case. And may I add that I love your blog! Learned a lot from it.

Thanks, I always appreciate hearing from satisfied readers.

Um usually several hiking trips a year in the Pacific Northwest alone end in a bunch of people frozen to death on a mountain.
