Okay, What? Mind. Blown.

Edgar Allan Poe was a crazy, drunk and opiate addict, right? He died of his addictions, say so many biographers (including one I watched in high school). But, thanks to an interesting (and weirdly factual) site called Cracked.com (I've linked to the article), my mind has been blown. Poe was killed via rabies, not having drank a drop of alcohol years before his death. You must read this article, and clear the poor man's name. It's shocking how making the wrong enemy can follow you beyond the grave...his nemesis being the one who perpetrated the myth. Read it and be amazed!
