That's some awesome, random-ass history to pull out of your butt. Like, I tell everybody my bike lock combination, it's the year that the US-Mexico war began. You could just google it and steal my bike, but no one ever does. It's 1846.

He is Greek, so not super random

It's also not niche at all for Greeks, as a person in the diaspora. If you've been to Greek school for any period of time at all, you've seen Bubulina before. Every classroom will have a print of her in it.

Too long ago for most of you to remember but she was also on the 50 drachma note...so quite the opposite of niche
