			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Wednesday through Sunday, the city of Baltimore will host a lavish funeral for writer Edgar Allen Poe, more than a century and a half after his death. The
affair will be a whole lot better than the crappy funeral he got after he unexpectedly died in 1849 at just 40 years of age.</p>

<p>&quot;It&#39;s sort of a way of saying, &#39;Well, Eddie, your first funeral wasn&#39;t a very good one, but we&#39;re going to try to make it up to you,
because we have so much respect for you,&#39;&quot;... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Famous for his role as poet on Rowan and Martin&#39;s Laugh-In,
<br>

<p>.&quot; As a simpering poet, he would hold a single flower and announce, with deadpan formality, &quot;A Poem, by Henry Gibson.&quot; (from New York Times) 
<br>
<br>
one of his poems follows:</p>

<p> &quot;The Eyelash&quot;:  by Henry Gibson </p>

<p>The eyelash is a friend to man.
<br>
It lives to serve the eye.
<br>
It fights the dirt and dust and grime,
<br>
And keeps the eyeball dry.

<br>
There was the Pub but there was some other stuiff.
<br>
Sotheing about Yahoo and myt Web site and about three other directions.
<br>
It was rather strange for me.
<br>
There was also mention of Facebook too.
<br>
Personally, I find Facebook to be pretty useless.
<br>
A strange thing with suddenly five topics listed and then which disappeared.
<br>
Just thought that i should report.
