v4.15, v4.151 - The Grasshopper Lies Heavy (Reference to Chandler Duke’s book about an alternative history link)
That book title is taken from Philip K Dick's Man in the High Castle where "The Grasshopper Lies Heavy" is a book within the book (or a film within the TV series in the Amazon production of it).

I dunno, leaving an alternative history of a reference to an alternative history seems nice. Maybe turn the first character into a link to The Man in the High Castle and leave the rest as is?

It was just a crappy alternative history joke. Accurate sources are of course very important.

The reason it shows up now as a REAPER name is probably because the Bush speech (actually the banner that was used there) was recently referenced by Trump (and afterwards Trump's reference went quite big in the media):

i don't know what i'd have done without this list - AND - it saved me the time of
doing it myself! Simply fantastic!

Could you possibly do a condensed list of all Reaper bugfixes from the very beginning?

@Vitalker
It is not the poem, because of the excalation mark,
and it is not the french movie as well because there is no space before the "!" (French movie)


It think it is a reference to Jules Vernes's Samuel Fergusson character.


But there is a lot of other occurence of this excalamtion after that in pop cultures (some video games etc).

Added v5.980 - Sincerity is the key to success. Once you learn to fake that, you've got it made. (Groucho Marx's quote, which I couldn't find anywhere, but twitter. Actually very similar quotes belong to other people. The real author is unknown, but George Burns helped popularize the expression.)
