Things I Learnt Today
Oliver Heaviside (British Physicist 1850-1925), discoverer of the Heaviside layer, had a sofa permanently on the stairs. In attempting to move it from downstairs to upstairs, the sofa got stuck. Refusing to ask for help, the sofa remained in situ. This was relayed to me by his great great great niece of Oliver himself.
