 Bran Cereal
Bran the Blessed (aka Bendigeidfran) was a character in Welsh mythology, a son of Llyr and Penarddun, who appears in the Mabinogion.
The name "Raisin Bran" was at one time trademarked, but widespread use of the term to refer to any bran-and-raisin cereal caused it to become generic, so that it can no longer by subject to trademark protections.
Nevertheless, consuming pure bran (without fructose or a similar ingredient such as fig juice to add body and cohesion) can be dangerous, as the bran is sometimes so light and fluffy as to enter the trachea, during normal breathing, when the spoonful of bran and milk approaches the mouth.

The Hyborian Age, that time between the Fall of Atlantis and the rise of the world as we know it, is a vivid setting for the adventures of the Cimmerian who came down from the North to carve out an empire.
Though no one has claimed the Conan stories as part of the Cthulhu Mythos, that group of stories by HPL and his friends centered on Cthulhu and his kin, it does by proxy exist next to them.
Howard did write at least six undisputed Cthulhu Mythos stories, “The Worms of the Earth” and “The Black Stone” being two of the best.

 Xbox 360 & Xbox Forums - Call of Cthulhu
The term "Cthulhu Mythos" is used to describe the vast, mysterious world of gruesome creatures, sinister locations, and terrifying ancient civilizations in which numerous pieces of horror fiction are based.
Set during the 1920s, Call of Cthulhu is based on the Cthulhu Mythos of HP Lovecraft, an American writer of fantasy and horror.
The technology powering Call of Cthulhu has provided Headfirst with the means to present an incredibly detailed and accurate depiction of the sights and sounds of this unique 1920's New England setting.

 Call of Cthulhu CCG   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Combat in Cthulhu is a dangerous proposition, both from a gameplay and design point of view.
A Cthulhu game that doesn’t involve people being scared [censored] by things too horrible to describe (although Lovecraft did devote quite a bit of ink to describing just how indescribable they were in his own little way) just wouldn’t be Cthulhu.
One of the things we did when examining the mythos from a business perspective (it’s hard to disassociate yourself from something you love, sometimes!) was take a look at the elements that interest people.

The Cthulhu Mythos stories chronicle the adventures of such unfortunates, frequently in as high-blown a style as the latter sentences of this paragraph are in.
In certain cases, while no direct, unequivocal Mythos connections are made, both the spirit of the work *and* an assortment of elements not usually found together except in the Mythos have combined to make the work eligible.
By extention, the Bran Mak Morn stories are connected to the Mythos: ''The Lost Race'', ''Men of the Shadows'', ''Kings in the Night'', ''A Song of the Race'', ''The Night of the Wolf'', and an unnamed fragment.

 The Cthulhu Mythos: Introduction
By involving his friends in the process, including references to their stories and encouraging them to include references to his, Lovecraft started a kind of mutant phenomenon of Mythos pastiches that has since infected a multitude of crazed victims.
As a result, a number of the "Cthulhu Mythos" stories (so named by his disciple, August Derleth) are classics, and many others are passable light entertainment or at least have some lingering curiosity value.
The scope of the study is limited to those stories contributed by the first generation of Mythos authors: H. Lovecraft and his circle of friends and correspondents.

 Cthulhu D20: A Reality Check - RPGnet Forums
If I understand the general gist of the various D20 Cthulhu threads perpetrated by Stinkbreeches and his ilk, their main objection to the game is that it is going to somehow 'trivialize' the Cthulhu Mythos.
Bran Mak Morn forces the Children of the Night to do his bidding in Worms of the Earth.
I pointed this before in the old forums when people were discussing Pulp Cthulhu: the Mythos is nothing if not flexible, accommodating of various styles, settings and themes.

Robert E. Howard is the world-renowned author of the Conan series and the stories that were the basis of the recent Kull movie.
He also was one of H.P. Lovecraft's frequent correspondents, and an author of many pivotal Mythos tales.

 Conan And The Cthulhu Mythos. - The REH Forum
I know REH wrote some mythos fiction, however I've not been able to find a clear answer as to wether REH considered Conan's earth (Hyborian world of course) to be part of the Cthulhu mythos or not.
Now, HPL and REH did write to each other on a frequent bases, and it is not beyond reason for the both of them to use concepts and elements of each others stories.
Howard, we know, wrote several stories in which he created new creatures that have been added to the Cthulhu mythos, and may have well had some additional thoughts about how he could add additional elements into future products.

 Nameless Cults: The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales Of Robert E. Howard (Call of Cthulhu Fiction) by Robert E. Howard ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Much of the mythos connections are quite dubious, being only a word or two.
Stories such as "Worms of the Earth," with Howard's Pictish king Bran Mak Morn, "The Shadow Kingdom" with Kull, and "The Gods of Bal-Soggoth" featuring the Irish adventurer Turlogh Dubh O'Brien, showcase the best of Howard's style, pitting his rugged sluggers against achievable and defeatable cosmic horrors.
While the Bran Mak Morn and Kull stories are available elsewhere, the book is worth getting for "Skull Face" alone, if you can stomach the racism.

This timeline was stolen from the alt.horror.cthulhu FAQ, and refurbished a little by me. Mythos fans will probably be dismayed at the amount of material left out.
