Wernher baronets

The Wernher Baronetcy, of Luton Hoo Park in the Parish of Luton and County of Bedford, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 2 August 1905 for the German-born Randlord and art collector Julius Wernher. His younger son, the third Baronet (who succeeded his elder brother), was a Major-General in the British Army. The title became extinct on his death in 1973.

gollark: > FALSE (named after the author's favourite truth value) is an early Forth-like esoteric programming language invented by Wouter van Oortmerssen in 1993, with the goal of creating a powerful (and obfuscated) language with as small a compiler as possible. The original compiler is 1024 bytes, written in 68000 assembler. FALSE inspired the prominent esoteric languages Brainfuck and Befunge, among other languages. I see.
