   A very famous Canadian has died at the age of 91: Annette Dionne, the   
   last of the world-famous Dionne Quintuplets.   
      
   Although the bulk of their fame happened years before I was born, I've   
   certainly heard of the Dionnes a number of times over the years and know   
   that people travelled long distances to see them when they were young.   
      
   Quintuplets were exceedingly rare when they were born, long before the   
   advent of modern fertility drugs, and the fact of their survival made   
   them even rarer. This was sufficient for exploiters to set up a facility   
   where the Dionnes could be raised and tourists could observe them   
   "secretly".   
      
   It's a pretty bizarre story, all things considered:

   I was also surprised to learn that their parents had had several   
   children before the Quints were born and several more afterwards! Poor   
   Mrs. Dionne must have been pregnant almost constantly!
