Review indicative passive of all conjugations

[hummingwolf]

You know it's time to clean your room when you find half of a 1918 War Savings Bond on which are scrawled seemingly random lines of numbers, a few lines of Milton's poetry,* a few other lines of poetry Google won't identify, some doodling, and some Latin homework.

I am so not making this up.



* "What hath night to do with sleep?
Night hath other sweets to prove,
Venus now wakes, and wakens Love."

The person writing on the bond then wrote the word "Love" a few more times, then had some fun writing a cursive capital L over and over again, nearly obscuring the third line quoted.

And in the margin, to the left of the line "Night hath other sweets to prove," is the note "Oh, yes."

Wow. I'll bet some collector would pay $$ for that war bond on ebay.

Torn in half and used for scrap paper? I'm not convinced. Collectors tend to like things in significantly better condition than this.

The scribbling provides some entertainment value, though. Even if the writer hadn't written her name on the paper, it would've been a pretty safe assumption that it was a female.

Frame it :)

There's a thought!

I'd love to see this. Any chance of getting a scan?

I don't have a scanner, but that's a good thought.

Even damaged, it may well be worth some dosh. Don't throw it out.

But, um... how in the nine hells did that end up on the floor of your room? I'm quite certain you're not 90 years old, and I'm exceptionally dubious that the room has managed to go 90 years without being cleaned.

Heh. It wasn't on the floor--it was in a box with some canned goods, which I'm certain are also not 90 years old.
