Creeper (Minecraft)
A creeper is a fictional creature from the sandbox video game ''Minecraft''. Creepers are hostile mobs (short for mobile non-player characters) that can be encountered within the game world at any given time or location where such mobs spawn in the dark. Instead of traditionally attacking the player directly, they creep up on the player and explode when they get close, destroying blocks in the surrounding area and potentially damaging the player if they are inside the blast radius. Their green camouflage and generally silent behavior aid in stealth attacks. Creepers were first added to ''Minecraft'' in a pre-alpha update to the game released on August 31, 2009. The creeper has become one of the most widely recognized icons of ''Minecraft''. They have been referenced and parodied in popular culture, and they are featured prominently in ''Minecraft'' merchandise and advertising. Characteristics and design Creepers were created as a result of a coding error of the pig mob in th ...

Springfield (The Simpsons)
Springfield is the primary fictional setting of the American animated sitcom ''The Simpsons'' and related media. It is an average-sized, fictional city within an indeterminate state in the United States. The fictional city's geography, surroundings and layout are flexible, often changing to accommodate the plot of any given episode. According to the creator of the series, Oregon native Matt Groening, Springfield was inspired by a number of real-life locations (including Springfield, Oregon and Springfield, Massachusetts). However, in order to emphasize it as an example of " Anytown, USA", the location of the fictional Springfield remains a mystery, with various contradictory "clues" being found in numerous episodes of the series. Creation The fictional city of Springfield was intended to represent "Anytown, USA" and not be derived from any specific real-life location. However, the producers acknowledge deriving inspiration from numerous locations including ''The Simpsons'' creat ...

The prize was a “Handsomely Bound Book”. Following this, eating contestsparticularly those involving piebecame popular across Canada and the United States, traditionally at county fairs.

Electric Chair
An electric chair is a device used to execute an individual by electrocution. When used, the condemned person is strapped to a specially built wooden chair and electrocuted through electrodes fastened on the head and leg. This execution method, conceived in 1881 by a Buffalo, New York dentist named Alfred P. Southwick, was developed throughout the 1880s as a supposed humane alternative to hanging, and first used in 1890. The electric chair has been used in the United States and, for several decades, in the Philippines. While death was originally theorized to result from damage to the brain, it was shown in 1899 that it primarily results from ventricular fibrillation and eventual cardiac arrest. Although the electric chair has long been a symbol of the death penalty in the United States, its use is in decline due to the rise of lethal injection, which is widely believed to be a more humane method of execution. While some states still maintain electrocution as a legal method of ex ...
