Hey, who’s the most famous or interesting person whose grave you’ve been to or whose mortal remains you’ve seen? Will accept saintly relics with a pinch of salt.
You don’t “meet” a person by being in the vicinity of their mortal remains.
By that measure I’ve met Karl Marx, Winston Churchill and four out of six Mitford sisters.
@Nickiquote does it count if you did something interesting with mortal remains of a boring person?
@keith As a lawyer, I always advise people not to admit their crimes on Fedi.
@Nickiquote funny thing in UK is it's not a crime to do interesting things with people's bones but I'll put my spade away
Marie Curie's tomb at the Pantheon is the first to come to mind.
(Her tomb is lined with lead because her remains are still dangerously radioactive. You can look into her workshop in the Institute Curie but not go in, for the same reason.)
@stevegis_ssg @Nickiquote She needs a third Nobel prize, because she literally took one for the team (humanity). Ummm Peace Prize?
