Reply to comment by ZwischenzugZugzwang in TIL the band Grateful Dead got its name in 1965 after Jerry Garcia found the term in the Britannica World Language Dictionary along with the definition "the soul of a dead person, or his angel, showing gratitude to someone who, as an act of charity, arranged their burial". by big_macaroons

Don't sweat it. Seems like half my college career was writing papers on Khrushchev and listening to Grateful Dead on acid.
