Thinning the Herd: Tales of the Weirdly Departed

Maybe how we meet our end is just random circumstance, or maybe it's more deliberately Darwinian, with death sorting out the gene pool in its own inimitable fashion. After centuries on this earth we humans still aren't any closer to discovering the facts of death, but it continues to fascinate and perplex us. In this compendium of real-life anecdotes and observations regarding death (you know, that thing that only happens to other people) you'll discover why we'll never know what Albert Einstein's last words were, which celebrities' phobias proved to be justified, and how a dead jockey managed to win a horse race. As George Bernard Shaw sagely observed, 'Life does not cease to be funny when people die.' He died in 1950 at the age of ninety-four, when he fell out of an apple tree.

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query asks Layer for nearest neighbors of the stored product vector — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
