Hey so the burpee was named after its inventor. Dr. Burpee. Dr. Royal H. Burpee. He looked like this. I did not photoshop the quilted shorts, little sailor hat, or smoldering mustache. I don't know what you're going to do with this information, but you have it now.
fun fact: just off to the side, out of frame, were Pusje and Poull, the famous Upp brothers, and the man taking the picture? Dr. Harvelius von Squatt
How dare you leave out Cornelius D. Eadliffe!
