My co-worker, Aaron, at the front desk says Shakespeare, Proust, or James Joyce... or Leonardo, Winston Churchill, etc, etc... I would find Mary Shelly strangely appropriate. Also E.A. Poe, but not during whatever annual date it is when the mysterious fan leaves the rose on his grave -- wouldn't want to disturb that ritual in any way. Yes, this is a difficult question.

I ended up choosing either Jan Potocki or Omar Khayyam. If I were to go after Geronimno's skull I wouldn't end my adventure in the S&B ossuary with just that one piece. A once in a lifetime chance to grab who knows what assembled and gathered by the who's who of the United States couldn't end with just a head.
