Man Leaves French Cognac To Toast Poe.

[Bronco69]

Is the man who leaves Cognac at Edgar Allen Poe's grave a freeper? Check this out:

BALTIMORE - It was nearly "nevermore" for French cognac Monday in an annual tribute at the grave of Edgar Allan Poe.


For 56 years, someone has marked the writer's birthday by slinking into the small cemetery where Poe is buried to place French cognac and three roses on his grave in the middle of the night.

This year, however, the mystery visitor included a note with a possible reference to French opposition to the war in Iraq (news - web sites).


"The sacred memory of Poe and his final resting place is no place for French cognac," the note read. "With great reluctance but for respect for family tradition the cognac is place. The memory of Poe shall live evermore!"

1. Ironic that it was Poe who popularized the detective story genre

with his masterpiece "Murders in the Rue Morgue"-- set in, where else? Paris!
