Bucephalus ( grc, Βουκέφαλος, , ox-headed, from ', "ox", and ', "head") was a type of branding mark used on horses in ancient Greece.

Bucephalus (flatworm)
''Bucephalus'' () is the genus name for many trematode flatworms that are parasites of molluscs and fish. Like other Bucephalidae, they are found in fish both as adults and as metacercariae. In marine and freshwater teleosts, they live as parasites inside the digestive tract, especially the intestine. The genus ''Bucephalus'' was based on the earliest known bucephalid, '' B. polymorphus'' Baer (1827), initially described from a cercaria larva. Siebold (1848) believed that the adult bucephalid he named ''Gasterostomum fimbriatum'' represented an adult form of the same bucephalid, but this identity has never been proved. The name ''Bucephalus'' () was chosen because of the horn-like appearance of the forked tail (furcae) of its cercaria. By what Manter calls a "curious circumstance", horns are also suggested by the long tentacles of adult worms. They are distinguished from other genera in the same family by having tentacles associated with the anterior sucker A sucker ...

Come To Daddy (EP)
''Come to Daddy'' is an EP/mini-album by British electronic music artist Aphex Twin. The EP's lead single, and the first track on the EP, " Come to Daddy (Pappy Mix)"—often simply called "Come to Daddy"—is one of Aphex Twin's best-known songs; it peaked at number 36 on the UK Singles Chart. Composition ''Come to Daddy'' has been described as featuring drum and bass beats throughout.

Invasion Of Java (1811)
The Invasion of Java in 1811 was a successful British amphibious operation against the Dutch East Indian island of Java that took place between August and September 1811 during the Napoleonic Wars. Originally established as a colony of the Dutch Republic, Java remained in Dutch hands throughout the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, during which time the French invaded the Republic and established the Batavian Republic in 1795, and the Kingdom of Holland in 1806. The Kingdom of Holland was annexed to the First French Empire in 1810, and Java became a titular French colony, though it continued to be administered and defended primarily by Dutch personnel. After the fall of French colonies in the West Indies in 1809 and 1810, and a successful campaign against French possessions in Mauritius in 1810 and 1811, attention turned to the Dutch East Indies. An expedition was dispatched from India in April 1811, while a small squadron of frigates was ordered to patrol off the island, ...

Doctor Who
''Doctor Who'' is a British science fiction television series broadcast by the BBC since 1963. The series depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called the Doctor, an extraterrestrial being who appears to be human. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS. The TARDIS exterior appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. With various companions, the Doctor combats foes, works to save civilisations, and helps people in need. Beginning with William Hartnell, thirteen actors have headlined the series as the Doctor; in 2017, Jodie Whittaker became the first woman to officially play the role on television.
