He is also, apparently, the reason we know the age of the earth.
So -- there's that.
CCP means something very different on Lemmy lol

Yea all the commies are going to be disappointed after reading the text in the image
Why are people celebrating his death day? Dude was born June 2nd, why not make that the holiday?
The day he died is the day we failed to celebrate him for the last time; we're not celebrating we're commemorating.
Why do Christians celebrate Good Friday, when we're at it?
I do have a joke about that, but eight people have told me it's in bad taste, so I had to stop telling it.
What's the joke? Or was that the joke and I don't get it?
(cue joke)
When I was younger everyone kept asking me "Have you found Jesus?"
When I was on the street, when I was walking through shopping centres, when I was in the Student Union.
"Have you found Jesus?"
Eventually I got sick of it, and one day I snapped.
Someone asked me "Have you found Jesus?" and I turned to them I said "You've lost him? Again? What is it with you people losing Jesus? You know what you should do? You should do what they did in the olden days and nail him to a cross -- that way you'll always know where he is!!"
Which turned out to be the wrong thing to say to the Arch Bishop, but hey -- you live and learn.
I think the abbreviation CCP is already taken…
Maybe a different name would be best.
Why don't we just leave out the middle name? We could just have Clair Patterson day, or CP day. Surely that wouldn't confuse the internet, right?
Yikes.. Maybe let's just do "Patterson Day" :)
Can we also take a minute to appreciate the guy that invented the lead additive and pushed for its adoption despite knowing the risks? I forgot his name but that fucker should live on in infamy.
Thomas Midgley, Jr.
Also invented CFCs (the stuff that put the hole in the ozone layer).
In his later years, he had limited mobility, so he designed a system of pulleys and levers to give him some degree of independence. Eventually, he was found strangled by his contraption.
