Well, the head of the Roman emperor Claudius was in the Thames for a couple thousand years before it showed up again. So Mozart's will turn up some day. -------------------- The A.E. van Vogt Information Site My Tribute to the Greatest Writer of the Science Fiction Golden Age Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

quote:So Mozart's head will be reestablished around the turn of the 40th century. Yay. I fully agree with your title, though, DL. Why would anyone come up with such a thought as to steal Mozart's head and why would anyone really care if he did. Other than monetary reasons, of course. :P -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Decapitation is the mark of all true art. Our museums are full of it. Besides, if they bother to run off with your statue's head that means they think you're really worth the effort. They don't abscond with just anybody's head! -------------------- The A.E. van Vogt Information Site My Tribute to the Greatest Writer of the Science Fiction Golden Age Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

I'm not sure if anyone would be able to certainly identify Mozart's actual head, since he was buried in a multiple occupancy grave. I mean, there were no dental records in those days, and I don't suppose there is any DNA to match against? -------------------- Everything I know about the Avernum Trilogy: [ A1 | A2 | A3 ] Posts: 1104 | Registered: Monday, March 10 2003 08:00 |

I'm sure they documented on which side of the grave his body was thrown. Take all the skull from that side, compare facial features and size with the stolen head in the year 4106, and you should be able to tell. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Capital idea! Something like this, you mean?  But this is just so passé. But nobody just has the candle out of the top anymore! I tried to find one that wasn't so cliched—I was going for that "skull staring upwards with candle extending out of its gaping mouth" motif, but couldn't find an example.

No, there will be no extra candle. I'd just stick a wick down through the wax head and light it. -------------------- Lt. Sullust Cogito Ergo Sum Polaris Posts: 2462 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |
