A few notes on assembling a DYK queue 

Thanks for all your work assembling these queues but may I suggest that you review the list of "unwritten" rules for these?  Among other things, they advise that each queue should be roughly half biographical hooks, roughly half U.S.-related hooks, and should end with a funny or quirky hook to "leave 'em laughing".  I know this makes putting a well-balanced queue that much harder but it's how it's done, I'm told, for the best interests of the reader. -
