Fact of the Week
Edgar Allan Poe And Alcohol![]()
Edgar
Allan Poe, American poet, was seventeen years old when accepted into
Virginia University. First year he managed to gamble all his
scholarship money. It was also reported that Edgar owed around $2500 to
local gamblers. Gambling addiction led to alcoholism, which is still
debated by many Poe's followers. However, it was reported by school
systems that Edgar showed up in class drunk even during the
examinations. The interesting fact is that Edgar Allan Poe finished
with highest grades in his class and became best student of his
generation.

We can get rid of leg hair without pretending that we do a lot of cycling/swimming or any other sport that would require aerodynamic legs.
