Getting something named after yourself usually means you’ve accomplished something, good or bad. Charles Ponzi didn’t invent fraud, but he was so good at it that his name lives on in infamy. Ernesto Miranda had no idea that confessing to kidnapping and rape would establish a new Constitutional right. Edward Murphy had no idea that his offhand remark about a technician wiring sensors incorrectly would lead to the law that if anything can go wrong, it will.

Occupation: Pope
Pope Leo XIV will assume all sorts of duties as he moves into his new role as His Holiness. He’ll lead weekly masses and celebrations. He’ll preside over religious observances like Christmas and Easter. He’ll travel the world to promote peace, dialogue, and humanitarian causes. He’ll meet with bishops, cardinals, and Vatican officials in his role as sovereign of the Vatican City. And, for the first time ever, he’ll file a Form 1040 with the IRS. Or will he?
