They’ve done away with naming diseases after people. Most new diseases now have descriptive names. E.g., Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

What’s better than roses on your piano? Tulips on your organ!
Easy. I name it “Sparta”. So every time when someone asks me what disease I have I can then say “Disease Sparta!”.
This would be a lot funier if the question were the other way around and the response was just about him naming it.
