Hypergraphia: Flickry Do Da Days

So, I never heard about Flickr before starting this exercise. It's pretty neat, actually. There are lots of interesting pictures in there, some with little blurbs. It allows for people to showcase not only their pictures, but also their photography skills.

I wanted to find a couple of Paris pictures. When I searched the "Paris," I came upon "The Lizard King's" tomb. Pretty interesting, A., because I didn't realize Jim Morrison was buried in Paris, and B., because I never knew what his grave looked like. I repeat. Pretty interesting (not to mention pretty dirty... don't they clean those cemeteries?). Upon further investigation, I found the following information in Wikipedia (which also has a great site):

Morrison is buried in the famous Père Lachaise cemetery in eastern Paris. The grave was unmarked until French officials placed a shield over it, which was subsequently stolen in 1973. In 1981, Croatian sculptor Mladen Mikulin placed a bust of Jim's head on top of the gravestone to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Jim's death. The bust remained until 1988, when it was stolen. After that, the new headstone with Morrison's name was erected. The Greek inscription on the square headstone reads Κατὰ τον δαίμονα ἑαυτοῦ, in capital letters (ΚΑΤΑ ΤΟΝ ΔΑΙΜΟΝΑ ΕΑΥΤΟΥ). The inscription means "True to his own spirit".

May he rest in peace (and may people stop stealing from his grave).
