Fun, interesting article about something I knew nothing about before reading it. New enough, created and nominated on same day (June 7) and recent GA. Long enough, at almost 9,000 characters. AGF re: policy requirement, since it just passed a successful GAN. Hook refs are from an inaccessible source, but again, will AGF based on recent GAC. All hooks are fine, short, interesting, and neutral, although I insist that we use the first hook; it's such a great, funny line. QPQ done. Image in public domain. Good to go. One picky comment that has no effect on this review: I think the lead should be longer. I also think you should think about improving this article some more and submitting it to FAC. Best.

Thank you for your kind comments! Not sure I have another FAC in me at the moment, but I'll certainly consider it.
