How about John Maus (of the Walker Brothers) and John Mayer (Indo-Jazz Fusion guy), or have you got those two sorted in your head?

In case you don't know this verbal mnemonic: Stalactites cling tight to the ceiling, and stalagmites might one day reach them and form a column.

It always confuses me that Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a philosopher interested in the concepts of the "primitive" and the "savage" and that Henry Rousseau was a "primitivist" painter who painted jungles

I've spent 3 years or so thinking that the white-nationalist podcaster and youtuber Stefan Molyneux had created the computer game Populous, but found out today that it was Peter Molyneux (I think I was getting Stefan Molyneux mixed up with Scott Adams here as well, as in the trajectory from creating innocuous thing I liked as a kid in the 90s to reappearing circa 2016 as an insane advocate for crypto-fascism)

I just today found out these were two different people - I always thought it was sad that the game designer had gone crazy like that!
