The recent 7.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Northern California served as a stark reminder of the state's vulnerability to tsunamis.
Brisbane, Australia – Jack Karlson, the man whose dramatic arrest outside a Brisbane restaurant became an internet sensation, has died at the age of 82.
Karlson's unexpected fame came decades after the 1991 incident, when footage of his arrest was uploaded online in 2009. His colorful resistance, punctuated by the phrase "Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest," while being denied a "succulent Chinese meal," quickly became a viral meme.
Despite his newfound internet stardom, Karlson maintained his innocence, claiming to be a victim of mistaken identity. The incident, however, solidified his place in online culture, with countless memes and references continuing to circulate long after the original event.
Karlson's family confirmed his passing after a battle with cancer. His legacy as a viral sensation and a complex figure will undoubtedly live on.
