Thomas Bing Kin Chong is a Canadian-American actor, director, cannabis rights activist and comedian. He is known for his marijuana-themed Cheech & Chong comedy albums and movies with Cheech Marin, as well as playing the character Leo on Fox's That'70s Show, he became a naturalized United States citizen in the late 1980s. Thomas B. Kin Chong was born at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, on May 24, 1938, His mother was Lorna Jean, a waitress of Scotch-Irish ancestry and his father was Stanley Chong, a Chinese truck driver who immigrated to Canada in the 1930s. After arriving in Canada, the senior Chong had first lived with an aunt in Vancouver, where Chinese immigrants were sequestered in a small area due to racial discrimination; as a youth, Tommy Chong moved with his family to Calgary, settling in a conservative neighbourhood Chong has referred to as "Dog Patch". He has said that his father had "been wounded in World War II and there was a veterans' hospital in Calgary.

He bought a $500 house in Dog Patch and raised his family on $50 a week." In an interview, Chong said: By the early 1960s, Chong was playing guitar for a Calgary soul group called the Shades. The Shades moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, where the band's name changed to "Little Daddy & the Bachelors", they recorded a single, "Too Much Monkey Business" / "Junior's Jerk". Together with bandmember Bobby Taylor, Chong opened a Vancouver nightclub in 1963; the Alma Theatre, they called it "Blue Balls". They brought in Tina Turner Revue, which had never been to Vancouver before. Although Little Daddy & the Bachelors built up a small following, things soured when they went with Chong's suggestion and had themselves billed as "Four Niggers and a Chink" before taking on the moniker Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers. In 1965, the Vancouvers signed with Gordy Records, they recorded their debut album, an eponymous release, their debut single, the Tommy Chong co-composition, "Does Your Mama Know About Me," which peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.

While on tour in Chicago for a short time, the band followed opening act the Jackson 5. Chong referred to the young Michael Jackson as a "cute little guy". After the band released two additional singles and bandmate Wes Henderson missed a Friday night performance to apply for green cards so they could become American citizens. Chong was fired by Motown producer Johnny Bristol for arriving late to the gig; when Berry Gordy told Chong that he wasn't fired after all, that it had been a mistake, Chong said he wanted to stay fired. "I said I want to become a Berry Gordy, I don't want to just work for a Berry Gordy. And he says I can, I can dig that. So he was nice, he gave me $5,000 as the severance and to me, a fortune." - Tommy Chong. The group broke up shortly afterwards, when Chong tried to reduce the number of players covered by the Vancouvers' contract, he intended that he, Henderson would constitute the group, while other members would be classified as sidemen and session artists. Chong co-wrote and performed on many Cheech & Chong comedy albums, four of which were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

He and Cheech Marin shared the 1973 award in this category for Los Cochinos. He directed four of the duo's films, while co-writing and starring in all seven with Cheech. Cheech & Chong, while a successful comedy act, split in 1985 due to creative differences and Marin's desire to focus on a mainstream acting career; this began a difficult time for Chong. He developed an unsold pilot for CBS called The Martinez Family, redeveloped as the 1988 sitcom Trial and Error. In 1990, he directed and starred in the movie Far Out Man, he did not act until filling the recurring role as the fun-loving, aging hippie "Leo" on That'70s Show. Chong was absent during the fifth and sixth seasons of the show as he was serving a brief jail sentence, he played a role as a hippie in Dharma and Greg. Chong was going to voice the character of Shenzi, the hyena in the Disney film The Lion King. Cheech Marin voiced Banzai. Chong provided the voice of the character Yax in the 2016 Disney film Zootopia. In September 2005, a/k/a Tommy Chong premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The documentary, produced and directed by Josh Gilbert, chronicles Chong's comedic and personal history. It includes material related to his prosecution by imprisonment; the project features interviews with Cheech Marin, Bill Maher, George Thorogood, Peter Coyote, Lou Adler, Eric Schlosser and Jay Leno.

In Greek mythology, Polymestor or Polymnestor was a King of Thrace. His wife was the eldest daughter of King Priam. Polymestor appears in Euripides' play Hecuba and in the Ovidian myth "Hecuba and Polydorus". Polymestor was a Greek king of Arcadia. During the Trojan War, King Priam was frightened for his youngest son Polydorus's safety since Polydorus could not fight for himself. Priam sent the child, along with gifts of jewelry and gold, to the court of King Polymestor to keep him away from the fighting. After Troy fell, Polymestor betrayed Priam and threw Polydorus into the ocean in order to keep the treasure for himself. Hecuba, Polydorus' mother, discovered the treachery, she asked Agamemnon to bring Polymestor to her. Agamemnon complied, another of Hecuba's children. Hecuba baits Polymestor by drawing him in with treasure. Hecuba has the other Trojan women kill Polymestor's sons, blinds Polymestor by scratching his eyes out. Polymestor is humiliated at having been made childless at the hands of slave women.

Polymestor is given a trial against Hecuba by Agamemnon. Polymestor claims to be working in the Greek's interest by killing Polydorus before he avenges his brothers and father. Hecuba refutes this claim by stating. Agamemnon declares Polymestor's actions to be murder. Agamemnon has his soldiers seize Polymestor; as he is being taken away, Polymestor reveals the deaths of Cassandra, the daughter of Hecuba and Agamemnon.

The Brunhes–Matuyama reversal, named after Bernard Brunhes and Motonori Matuyama, was a geologic event 781,000 years ago, when the Earth's magnetic field last underwent reversal. Estimations vary as to the abruptness of the reversal. A 2004 paper estimated; the apparent duration at any particular location can vary by an order of magnitude, depending on geomagnetic latitude and local effects of non-dipole components of the Earth's field during the transition. The Brunhes–Matuyama reversal is a Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, selected by the International Commission on Stratigraphy as a marker for the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene known as the Ionian Stage, it subaerially erupted volcanics. There is a speculative theory that connects this event to the large Australasian strewnfield. Bosumtwi impact event Geomagnetic reversal Jaramillo reversal
