a bit of trivia

“Robert Louis Stevenson would have been 151 years old today if he hadn't died.”

“Claude Monet would have been 161 years old today if he hadn't died.”

“John Keats would've been dead for 181 years on Feb. 23, if he weren't still alive...moooaahaahaahaa!

"This living hand, now warm and capable
Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold
And in the icy silence of the tomb,
So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights
That thou wouldst wish thine own heart dry of blood
So in my veins red life might stream again,
And thou be conscience-calmed--see here it is--
I hold it towards you."”

“Wow, lyra, Keats was only 26 when he died, or didn't.”

“Claude Monet would be clawing at the lid of his coffin if he wouldn't have died.”

“oh, i was thinking 25. a mere baby! sheesh, i'd better get started on...doing something, LOL!

“What the heck is a 3di?
Primary interstate highways in the United States have one- or two-digit numbers,
such as I-5 and I-84. Three-digit interstate highways, or 3di's, branch off or loop
with the primary routes. A 3di takes the number of its parent and adds a multiple of
100: I-405 loops with I-5, and I-384 veers off from I-84. For more information
and a sample map, please see details.
While there are about 65 primary interstates, there are over 200 3di's , mostly in
or around cities. Over 30 others, such as San Francisco's Embarcadero (I-480) or
Boston's Inner Belt (I-695) have been killed, a couple have been decommissioned
(converted to state or US highways), and a handful are proposed.
Because they typically are placed in high-population areas, 3di's encounter more
controversy than their 2-digit counterparts. However, when the 1956 Interstate
Highway Act was in trouble, an additional 1,000 miles of proposed roads, mostly
3di's in key cities, generated enough votes to pass it.”
