This might be my favorite paragraph in a news article ever:

"Beijing Kaiwen Education Technology Co. agreed in February to pay $40 million for Westminster Choir College, an affiliate of Rider University that trains students for careers as singers, conductors and music teachers. The announcement came just weeks after the government-controlled Chinese company changed its name from Jiangsu Zhongtai Bridge Steel Structure Co."

Bridge steel -> Music education. Now that's innovation!

No he didn't.

Carnegie gave away his wealth.

US Steel did not rename itself the US Library Corporation.
