Eric Brewer and Paul Gauthier, Canadian National Hockey League Players, are also the names of the founders of Inktomi. Crazy, eh?
Note: these links go to to the NHL players' pages, as the Inktomi founders' pages do not currently exist. Maybe you want to edit Eric's page? Or create Paul's?

Fan death - the belief (held almost exclusively by South Koreans) that sharing a closed room with a running electric fan will lead to death.
