The oldest trophy to be played for in golf is in the Royal Musselburgh Golf Club (I believe).

A defibrillator doesn't restart your heart - it stops it.
Actually, I suppose that's not utterly useless to know.
OK.....I'm with you now.

You used to be able to pre pay any sins you were thinking about performing by indulging the church with gold coin.
There's a few pieces of eight , whirs the outlawed sex?
I used the things for 10 years on a nearly daily basis. I understand that the shock stops the electro mechanical chaos that occurs during fibrillation, but after it has actually done that it doesn't play an active role in restarting the heart. At best it can be used to confirm if a normal sinus rhythm has been achieved.
Think you might mean "fibrillation". The heart is still actually beating but instead of the normal circa 80 beats per minute it is in a state of electrical/mechanical chaos and has a rhythm of up to about 600bpm. Because of the high frequency the heart is ineffectual and the chambers can't circulate blood around the body. Defibrillation allows the heart to recalibrate to it's normal rhythm by stopping the heart momentarily. When all goes well then the heart will restart on its own, the defib doesn't do that.
Bit like factory reset.
Neptune and Uranus used to be the opposite way around, meaning Neptune was originally closer to the sun than Uranus.
The World Series in baseball isn't about being champions of the 'world'. The trophy was put up by a newspaper called "The World".
