You think so? Take a look at the pyramids, and then you'll see "over the top". xd

That's how I plan on having my burial, if I die in such a way that allows it. To be surrounded by the things I loved.

My computer and personal library will do xD.

I'll just be buried with twelve metric tons of gold, a vast wealth of jewels beyond compare, forty dancing-girls, fifty slaves on white stallions and all the crowns of all the kingdoms and empires on the face of the earth. Just a small, quiet affair. ^_^

Well the gold alone would only cost $393,787,440, and that's Australian!

I'm rather fond of king henry the 8th. Though he was insane i think he was a smart man who went just nuts.

Henry "I'm Going To Kill All Of My Wives For Not Giving Me A Son" XIII?

He may have been book smart. He was a horrible ruler.

Although he was the father to one of England's best; Elizabeth I.

Please watch your grammar.

Hitler was great in his own way, but was just too extreme.

I studied her speeches when I was about twelve, to master the art of rhetoric! She had a way with words, she did.

I like Joan of Arc. I find it shocking that a seventeen year old peasant FEMALE in the middle ages could rise up and lead France to win the 100 Year War. Talk about girl power. mrgreen

Bringing up the topic of funerals I saw from earlier. That reminded me of the ancient Chinese burials. The earliest people were buried with nearly everything they owned. Including any living possessions like slaves. I think emperors were buried in earthen pyramids with all of their belongings.
Eventually though it became representations of what the person owned like statues, and I'm pretty sure today some people have paper versions of their belongings buried with them.

I've heard about the slaves being buried before.

The way of statues and paper is a lot more practical, at least people won't be getting buried alive.

She didn't necessarily win it. It wasn't like this:
"i am heer so now teh frinch win!!!!1"
"kthxbai!"

She did rally France into one hell of a war, though.

I said he was a militaristic genius. He was a psychopath with everything else; Not to mention a failure. xd
