...unless it was another meaning of the word (or translatable to) "fiddle" and cleaned up through intentional abstruse interpretation by upright (Victorian/American overly puritan perhaps?) scholars?.. that meaning is very, very old indeed...

Hrmm.. I'm not quite sure "read a biography of a run of the mill emperor" is a particularly good way to sell a book. Mind you perhaps that's part of what's wrong with the world and publishing/journalism in general? We only want to read about interesting things (which good and stable governance isn't particularly)

World's first.. or America's first? It certainly wasn't world first. See Ambroise Paré (France, 16th century, hinges and locking joints), James Pott (England, 1800, flexible foot, tendons and steel knee joint), Lord Anglesey (England, 1830, fully articulated leg), etc.

ADHD people can have really weird relationships with caffeine, as it is a (mild) CNS stimulant, which is the same class of drug as the stimulants that treat ADHD (help dopamine regulation and prefrontal cortex/executive function). It can actually (mildly) medicate one's ADHD. Also: outside the scope of their claims here about sleep, ADHD people regularly can sleep after drinking strong coffee even when not excessively tired - and actually sleep better than without it - as it helps regulate their brains.

Singing is complicated as studies suggest distances of at least 4.5-5m (15-18 ft) may be required to social distance when singing - eg: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/cho-advice-religious-gatherings.aspx "The only COVID-Safe singing that is permitted is a solo singer distanced at least five metres away from other people and not directly above the audience."(despite claiming 7.5 to 12 foot distances apart, those people look rather closer than that to me, within "their own height" distance - so less than 6 feet - from the nearest other people)

This is not the site you are looking for. This site is for contributers to find neat stuff and share it, saying a few (ideally witty) words that tell the story and maybe add more. Neat stuff. Not self aggrandisement (I note the linked article is your own - the only time that is okay here is when someone is sharing a post about a skillfully craftef physical item they have made) and idly shared rubbish with clickbaity descriptions as you have done previously. And again here.
