Fun fact - my stepfather used to pull alert there a week at a time, and once I got bored and started playing with a box of cards. Punch cards. My first hack as a kid was to completely scramble a carefully ordered box of computer programming punch cards

Orville Redenbacher died doing what he loved.  Having a steamy hot tub orgy.  That is actually true.  Well the part about him dying in his condo's hot tub from a heart attack, when he was 88 years old.  Wikipedia is silent on the orgy part, and some would point out that there is no evidence that he was having an orgy in the hot tub at the time, but I would argue that there is no evidence that he wasn't, and if you look at a guy like Orville Redenbacher with all his popcorn empire money, you just have to assume that he didn't go into the hot tub with anything fewer than three high class dames.

The evidence that Orville didn't have an orgy is that he was a Purdue alum.
