Found an interesting fact about Byron

[great lover]

Not Byron_In_Exile.

The poet who lived in England. Supposedly he married his half-sister and they had a baby from that relationship. Did anyone else know that?

 

[Recidiva]

Yes, and that his sister was a brilliant mathemetician who developed some of the theory that led to computing.

Apparently worth incest. I'd consider it and I'm straight.

Incest: the new gay.

"She blinded me with science."

I have never found anything interesting about Byron. Yeah I know I'm uncouth.

Hey I found this in an article on seduction. Byron seduced a lot of women in his life.

So did Ted Bundy

And uninteresting.

He seduced her. I would too. He was full of himself, run out of England, and a notorious womanizer. Sounds like a glorious life.

Dying at 36 was the best part.

 

[bluntforcemama]

Dying at 36 was the best part.

Live fast, love hard, die young. It was 1824. In those times, that's like dying at the age of 60.

I think you may be getting Wife, half sister and daughter mixed up.

Check out:

Augusta Leigh
Anne Isabella Byron
Ada, Countess Lovelace

Well, someone was smart. I'm sure.

Lol yes, Ada, Byrons daughter worked with Charles Babbage.

Daughter, by Lady Milbanke.

She wrote what was arguably the first "computer program" for Charles Babbage's "Analytical Engine," in the 1840's.

There was a modern computer language, ADA, named after her, but it was used mainly by the Defense Department. I never learned it.

That's the one. Thank you. Tell the truth that's the most interesting fact about Byron's life and the only favorable impression I have of the dude.

I couldn't even make it through "Gothic" and if I can't watch something with Gabriel Byrne and Julian Sands in it...it's that bad.

Oh God. That is the most execrable piece of trash ever to be called a film. It has to be considered a comedy, really. I feel sorry whenever I hear someone has been subjected to it without being forewarned about how horribly ridiculous it is.

Anyway, he had two daughters, Ada, by his wife, and Allegra, by Claire Clairemont, although she died at the age of five of a fever.

I doubt you'll get a favorable impression of him from things written about him. You'd probably get a better impression from what he wrote.

It was REALLY bad.

Timothy Powers using his name in vain in "The Stress of Her Regard" didn't help.

My exposure to him is entirely tangential. Anything...erm...short, so I can get through it without wanting to die of consumption in order to escape?

Lol!... The shorter stuff isn't as good. One short poem of his that popular is "She walks in beauty" -- but I wrote a parody of it inspired by Angeline, who gave me the title: "She walks in Bunny Slippers"

These guys, Shelley, Byron, Keats, were more popular with the youth in the early 1800's than the Beatles were in the 1960's. Imagine no internets, no hot and cold running water, no electricity. Poetry had a lot more meaning for people then than it does now. There was music, if you could round up a bunch of musicians to play something. But for one person, poetry was musical thought. And America has just won a revolutionary war against Britain and created a democratic republic. There was no such thing in Europe.

They lit the fire.

It sucked worse than Modula-2, if that's possible...



I had to learn both, briefly.

Anything inspired by Angeline had best be awesome, as she is the most awesomeness of awesomeness. (not poetical.)

I'm afraid this makes Byron sound like a boy band.

You may have been the only living person who had to learn ADA.

So you do other things beside pay-per-post? I mean you live here!

You learned ADA?

What was that like? I heard it was more awful than COBOL.

A real programmer can do anything in Fortran IV, with a little bit of Assembly.

 

[Ishmael]

And uninteresting.

But he's not trying to make a living out of being interesting. Not like you're trying to make a living out of being amusing.
