Today's Capsized Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
While in for repairs at Spithead in southern England on August 29, 1792, the famed 108-gun warship Royal George unexpectedly capsized while 1,300 sailors, workers, and others were aboard. About 900 people died in the tragedy, causing great embarrassment to the English naval establishment.

Alas, the Comtesse is ill again! What have I done to deserve a rash of such vile illness??? (Wait - don't answer that!!!) This time around, it's either a cold or allergies that has me in its feverish grip, but I'll try to keep getting the facts out on a daily basis. Should I lapse, however, you'll know why.
Thank you to everyone who entered the Ruthless Rhymes contest (which is now closed). The response was amazing, yet again! I am currently beginning the difficult process of going through the entries and picking my favorites. I should have the results within a few days, and I'll share the créme de la morbide with everyone!
