No reason it had to one or the other. He was pretty much a shattered man before the end.

Funniest comment - Let's hope the remaining two, Paul and Ringo don't go the same way.- Lauren Llama, Liverpool

And, of course, a favorite of mine,

Where Lenin lies the red flag flies, and the rat-grey workers wait
To tread the gloom of Lenin's Tomb, where the Comrade lies in state.
With lagging pace they scan his face, so weary yet so firm;
For years a score they've laboured sore to save him from the worm.
The Kremlin walls are grimly grey, but Lenin's Tomb is red,
And pilgrims from the Sour Lands say: "He sleeps and is not dead."
Before their eyes in peace he lies, a symbol and a sign,
And as they pass that dome of glass they see - a God Divine.
So Doctors plug him full of dope, for if he drops to dust,
So will collapse their faith and hope, the whole combine will bust.
But say, Tovarich; hark to me . . . a secret I'll disclose,
For I did see what none did see; I know what no one knows...

ROBERT W. SERVICE!

Lissen, if it's true that RWS wrote about Lenin, he would have been buried on
The Marge
of Lake Lebarge.

I call fake! Yukon Provincial Authorities to receive a copy!
