Morbid question

[amie-de-rimbaud.livejournal.com]

I've been wondering:  what happened to all those bodies sans têtes? I assume--I'm sure I've read--about mass graves, but does anyone know where they are exactly? Down in the catacombs of Paris (which I've still not visited, sadly) would be my guess, but I didn't know for sure. I have a feeling this is common knowledge, so I apologize for asking a possibly silly question.

Also, was anything special done with the bodies of remarkable victims--Louis, or the Girondins--to ensure that followers didn't try to memorialize them in any way, or--creepiness alert--steal body parts to save as relics? Did they drive a stake through Maxime's heart to make sure he wouldn't rise from the dead? (I'm kidding) But I'd love to hear any fantastic stories of this nature.

The Next Revolution is coming?

Well, it's been a while we await it all and it's been three years I say it'll eventually come, and now, this is it: it's being officially predicted... by Dominique de Villepin? Bad news.

Among all the cynical comments to this French article on it, my favourite is the one that says:

Dominique de Villepin has apparently declared that Sarko was doing research on the Web to find the fastest way to go in Hungary, by avoiding Varennes... !!

Oh, oh yes. It's been a while I'm saying that too. >D


P.S. I can't believe I missed that news last week.
