She told me it was the 200th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe's death. I thought we would have heard more about it if that was true, especially since the house he lived in and wrote The Bells (the Fordham bells!) in is right around the corner pretty much (not that anyone ever actually goes to see it but it's there!) and it also just didn't sound right, so I checked and it is in fact only the 160th anniversary of his death.
Way to lie Leighann
Anyway, go read some Poe
(Also, she needed the calculator to figure out the time between 1849 and 2009. Now I will make fun of her all day)

Wasn't Poe from smelly Baltimore too, or at least didn't he stop there and decide it was an awful place as most folks do?... so she really should have known better.
