You can lose more time there than you realize.
For example, today in 1977, Ulysses S. Grant IV died. Grandson of the Civil War General, and later President, and author of Catalogue of the Marine Pliocene and Pleistocene Mollusca of California and Adjacent Regions and a Special Treatment of the Pectinidae and Turridae.
Yes, he was a paleontologist. Also a veteran of World War I, a Stanford PhD, and chairman of the UCLA Geology department. And he had a cameo appearance on Groucho Marx' TV show, You Bet Your Life. It's not known whether he was asked Groucho's trademark question "Who is burried in Grant's tomb?"
