Context paragraphs:
Damon Runyon: Alfred Damon Runyon (October 4, 1880 – December 10, 1946) was an American newspaperman and short story writer.

Sharon Farrell: Sharon Farrell (born December 24, 1940) is an American television and film actress, and former dancer.  Originally beginning her career as a ballerina with the American Ballet Theatre company, Farrell made her film debut in 1959 in "Kiss Her Goodbye", followed by roles in "40 Pounds of Trouble" (1962), "A Lovely Way to Die" (1968), and the neo-noir "Marlowe" (1969).  She would go on to work prolifically in television, including recurring parts in the series "Saints and Sinner" (1962), "Dr. Kildare" (1965), and "Hawaii Five-O" (1977–1980).

Tobacco brides: In 1619, 90 young single women from England went to Jamestown to become wives of the men there, with the women being auctioned off for 150 pounds of tobacco each (to be paid to the shipping company), as that was the cost of each woman's travel to America.  All 90 of them did indeed become wives.  The youngest, Jane Dier, had been fifteen or sixteen years old when she left, and one of the oldest, Alice Burges, was twenty-eight.  Most of their fathers had died.  Such voyagers were called tobacco brides (or King's daughters, Casket girls, or Jamestown brides) and 150 pounds of tobacco was the typical auction price for them, although they usually had the right to refuse the highest bidder.  However, tobacco brides were often sent to America against their will, and often sent at very young ages.  There were many women and girls who went to America for this purpose (the 1619 voyage being the first), with the women and girls promised free passage and trousseaus for their trouble.  Many tobacco brides came to America fleeing hardship, but many also suffered once in America.  144 tobacco brides were brought to Jamestown by the Virginia Company between 1619 and 1622, but only six of them lived through their first six years in America.

Timeline of space travel by nationality: Since the first human spaceflight by the Soviet Union, citizens of 40 countries have flown in space.  For each nationality, the launch date of the first mission is listed.  The list is based on the nationality of the person at the time of the launch.  Only 3 of the 40 "first flyers" have been women (Helen Sharman for the United Kingdom in 1991, Anousheh Ansari for Iran in 2006, and Yi So-yeon for South Korea in 2008).  Only three nations (Soviet Union/Russia, U.S., China) have launched their own manned spacecraft, with the Soviets/Russians and the American programs providing rides to other nations' astronauts.  Twenty-six "first flights" occurred on Soviet or Russian flights while the United States carried thirteen.

MacNaughton Cup: The MacNaughton Cup is a trophy awarded annually to the regular season conference champion of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA).  The trophy is named after James MacNaughton of Calumet, Michigan, who was an avid supporter of amateur ice hockey.  The Cup is hand crafted of pure silver and stands almost three-feet high and weighs nearly 40 pounds.

John de Brantingham: John de Brantingham was an English Christian clergyman of the early fourteenth century and a member of the Brantingham family.  He held a prebend of Derby Cathedral, value 5 marks a year, and the rectory of Askeby, worth 20 marks annually.  In June 1318, Pope John XXII empowered de Brantingham to hold, in addition to his existing posts, the rectory of Huggate in the diocese of York, worth 40 pounds per annum.  Later, de Brantingham also served as vicar of Otley in Yorkshire.

Doric Organ: The Doric Transistorized Organ is a model of combo organ produced in Italy in the 1960s.  Doric organs were also sold under the brand name Ekosonic and were marketed as being the "lightest on the market" at 40 pounds.  Much like early Farfisa combo organs, Doric organs featured a monophonic bass section and a polyphonic lead which emulated other instruments by using transistor oscillators and a frequency divider section.  The Doric never achieved the same fame as Farfisa and Vox organs, perhaps due to limited distribution and a lower price point.

The coco de mer tree can grow up to 100 feet (31 m) tall, with leaves measuring 20 ft (6 m) long and 12 feet (3.6 m) wide.
