This rapid rise seems unlikely for a kid who grew up in Inglewood, California, in the 90s, an incredibly violent era for South Central, when it was probably more prodigious to learn gang signs than study chord changes.

Beowulf and Breca could have been rowing together or competing to see who was the more prodigious rower.

The injured dog quickly recovered and within days was following Bummer as he made his begging rounds in the streets. His remarkable recovery earned him the name Lazarus, and he proved to be an even more prodigious ratter than Bummer. As a team they turned out to be exceptional, once finishing off 85 rats in 20 minutes. Their ratting talent and unique bond was seized upon by the city's press.

C. S. Lewis, in The Allegory of Love, states that "the universe, which has produced the bee-orchid and the giraffe, has produced nothing stranger than Martianus Capella". The editio princeps of De nuptiis, edited by Franciscus Vitalis Bodianus, was printed in Vicenza in 1499. The work's comparatively late date in print, as well as the modest number of later editions,One, edited and emended by the sixteen-year-old Hugo Grotius, is a tour de force, "one of the more prodigious feats of Latin scholarship", as was noted by Stahl 1965:104.

Their stumble caused them to slip behind a Napier City Rovers side whose late season form came one match short of equalling the Mount's early season run.

Frustrated by the refusal of running powers on the Rhymney network, the Barry Railway now decided to extend the new line further north-east to join the Brecon and Merthyr Railway, crossing the Rhymney Valley to do so. The Barry Railway got an Act in 1898 permitting the extension to cross the Senghenydd branch of the Rhymney Railway and then cross the Rhymney Valley itself, joining the Brecon and Merthyr line near Duffryn Isaf; the new line was miles in length and included even more prodigious engineering challenges, in particular the Llanbradach viaduct. This alone cost about half of the £500,000 expense of building the line. The viaduct was 2,400 feet long with eleven spans 125 feet above the valley floor.
