Yes, several people in fact.

I had a ham sandwich....ham....Burnham. Could Michael have made my ham sandwich?

She definitely did, after telling a 4 star rated chef they were doing it wrong.

Gordon Ramsey had it coming.

If she did then that explains why during the first two seasons of your sandwich-eating they didn't know when to stop.

Someone hated lithium. So he said: "Die, lithium, die!!!"

Y'all may joke, but the writing in this show is hackneyed enough to make this a real possibility. And don't get me wrong, I say this as someone who enjoys the show, but you have to admit that at times it's rather trite.

If there was even a hint Burnham was connected to the Burn, Vance would have yell "Guards seize her!" on first sight. It's been just over a Century since the Burn occurred, If someone named it after Burnham, I think more that a few folks would remember.

They really love that song. They also played it in the first movie.
