Yes, whilst the 'we Freemasons are happy and fun with a long and interesting history!' lodge websites like to claim Desmoulins as one of their own but always forget to mention Robespierre - now why is that...? There's a hilarious 70's acid-head spin-off from the 'Illuminatus!' sort-of-sci-fi trilogy which claims that Robespierre's 'illnesses', Couthon's alternative medicine breaks and Saint-Just's, er, missions, presumably - were in fact amazing fiendish secret covers for them to go off to secret illuminati training camps for programming like in 'the Manchurian Candidate'. Er, yes. Well. But it was nice to see Couthon getting a name-check, at least! (Oh, of course! He's Davros!)
