"But I was desolate and sick of an old passion / When I awoke and found the dawn was gray"

Myths ought to be busted. Nonetheless, I'm sad about this one.

It's almost as disappointing as realizing Camino de Calle Road, a street in a housing development outside Tucson, is apocryphal. Ah well.

We still get to complain about the redundancy in the La Brea Tar Pits, though.

This post inspired me to check on Todmorden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todmorden#History"), which I'd decided for myself some years ago (but apparently I wasn't alone) must be a place of tautological deathliness - but apparently this is unlikely too. Drat and double drat.

And darn. Death Death Wood would be a fantastic name for a town.
