SPEAKING of Byron, found this tidbit while wandering through the intarwebs...
English poet Byron, back in the late 18th century, wrote this marvellous piece on the death of the hated Lord Castlereagh:
"Posterity will ne'er survey A nobler grave than this. Here lie the bones of Castlereagh Stop, traveller, and piss"
Oh, Byron.
(You know what would be really brilliant? Dressing up as various Romantics for Halloween. Or perhaps steampunkified versions. Or, uh, the vampiric versions. :D)
