Henrietta Howland Green (1835-1916) lived on cold oatmeal because she was too

at $95,000,000.
In 1978, a disgruntled worker walked into the office of Louis Polk, acting
Public Health Commisioner of Philadelphia, and tendered his resegnation by
chainsawing Polk's desk in half as the horrified Polk sat there.
If you want the worst place to have worked in a nongeographical definition, we
have the case for the old Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York where, on
March 25, 1911, 147 women workers were killed in a fire that swept through the
building.  Few escaped and many jumped seven to ten stories to their deaths
thanks to exit doors that had been tightly locked to prevent employees from
leaving the factory during working hours.
For driving his car in a Labor Day parade, the Reading, Pennsylvania, Fire
Department's Michael J. Moyer was suspended without pay.  But when he was
called in to cover for his replacement who never showed up, he wound up
making $313 overtime pay instead of the $155 he'd have been paid for his
ordinary shift.

On November 4, 1947, Pat Brownson came out of his corner for a Golden Gloves

punch, the contest was stopped, and Brownson lost without a count in the
embarrassing time of four seconds.
Sai Baba of India was pronounced dead in 1886 after both his breathing and

years.
Michael and Harry Medved, writing in their Golden Turkey Awards book, reported
the results of a poll conducted among 3,000 film fans.  The winner of The
World's Worst Movie?  "Plan 9 From Outer Space," a horror film directed by Ed
Wood, Jr., was characterized by paper plates passing for flying saucers, scenes
of a policeman accidentally kicking over a (cardboard) tombstone, and star
Bela Lugosi's stand-in being nearly a foot taller than Lugosi.

In 1978, David Marston, the U.S. Attorney for Pennsylvania, was called to
Washington D.C., on important business during the worst snowstorm of a decade.
Since all flights were cancelled and driving was impossible,  Marston hopped
on a train in Philadelphia.  The train was derailed outside of Baltimore, and
Marston completed his journey south by bus.  When he reached his office in the
Capitol, Marston had discovered that the reason he had been summoned to
Washington, D.C., was because he had been fired, and President Carter didn't
want to fire him over the phone.
