My Tomb?
Thanks to Alicia, I found a quiz to tell me what my tomb should look like. They got it wrong, though, as this does not have a statue of me, and my tomb should have a statue of me, with a bas relief panel depicting, on the left, the great men of the twentieth century: Salazar, Primo de Rivera, Mussolini, Marinetti, Russolo, Respighi, Ellington, Diebenkorn, Calvino, Emperor Norton, and LBJ all gazing up in awe, giving me the Roman salute. On the right side shall be the great saints of the twentieth century: Franco, Kolbe, Teresa of Calcutta, John Paul II, etc., praying for me. At my feet will be my trusty dog, who will be entirely a figment of the imagination, since I don't trust dogs, and do not live with dogs. I shall be holding a fasces and wearing a toga. Hiding out in the shadows will be a depiction of my alter ego, the late Richard Nixon, with a mysterious look on his face, part contempt, part amusement, part horror. He will be holding a copy of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Anyway, what the quiz said is posted under the Extended Entry, because it was doing strange things to the formatting:
