Lightbulb Interesting things we can learn from Wikipedia
CS Lewis himself died three years later following a heart attack, one week before what would have been his 65th birthday. Media coverage of his death was minimal, as he died on 22 November 1963 – the same day that US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and the same day Aldous Huxley died.

A better thread would be what interesting things can't we learn from Wikipedia.

You can find out that nothing interesting ever happened on my birthday.

I have an interesting book called by Peter Kreeft:
Between Heaven and Hell: A Dialog Somewhere Beyond Death with John F. Kennedy, C.S. Lewis, & Aldous Huxley.

It is very Socratic in nature. And very good.
