Which takes us to trivia time...

At dog races, they use a mechanical rabbit. The mechanical rabbit was
invented in Chicago by an attorney, whose name was O'Hare.

O'Hare was in someway connected to the Capone mob. He had a son, and
didn't
want his misdeeds to come down upon his son, so he to some extent "ratted
out" the Capone organization.

O'Hare's son, Butch, managed to escape the shame that might have come to
him
from his father's association with Capone.

Butch O'Hare became a pilot in the US Navy in WWII, became a hero, and was
killed in action.

Somewhere along the way you may have seen the airport identifier: ORD. It
stands for Orchard Field, which was the original name of the airport that
was later renamed in honor of an heroic Navy pilot.

I still wonders why pilots call that a "rabbit." It doesn't even look
like
a rabbit.
