Earlier today I was reading about Joan of England; the 14thy-century daughter of King Edward III whose death at the age of 13 shocked Europe into knowing that the Black Plague would spare nobody, including royalty. And now I'm scratching my balls watching the Yankees and kinda digging around online for info and I've stumbled upon THIS SITE. I see it's one of those find-a-grave sites, which I don't care about as I'm pretty sure I'll never be looking for her grave should I hit the Continent. So I'm about to click away when I realize that people have actually left messages for her. On a website. Almost seven hundred years after her death. At the age of 13.
I can't imagine anybody visiting my grave when I'm gone. But certainly not 700 years from now by complete strangers on technology not yet imagined. Wtf?
