Hooks

NOTE: When possible, it is good to have a balance of subjects covered by the hooks. Thanks.

From a collection of Wikipedia's articles:

... that the Seated Buddha from Gandhara (pictured) in Pakistan is the oldest surviving statue of Buddha in the world and also one of the first depictions of Buddha in human form?

... that Al Capone was one of the first Americans to receive a newly-developed drug called penicillin?

... that Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, was against the use of the name India by the Republic of India, saying that it was misleading and would cause confusion?

... that Tim Walz is the first sitting governor to be picked as the Democratic vice presidential nominee since the 1924 presidential election?

... that after having just one language in January 2001, Wikipedia was available in 161 languages less than four years later?

... that when he died, Wolfgang Schäuble was the longest serving member of parliament in Germany's history, serving from 1972 until 2023?
