A long-time friend of the JREF who, for the purposes of this article shall remain nameless, recently went to Paris to visit the famous Père Lachaise Cemetery, eternal resting place of luminaries such as Jim Morisson, Chopin, and Oscar Wilde. During this visit, our friend visited the grave of Samuel Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy.
The grave, though elaborate and well-kept, was missing a certain something. It seemed... lonely somehow, and our friend thought she could fix that right up. I can't help but imagine Wilde chortling in his coffin. Could it be that they landed in search of water, and nothing else?
Using a bit of Sesame Street Feng Shui, she completed a visual display of not one, but two old sayings; the first of which is the title of this article.
As you can see from the video, she worked very quickly, and left as soon as her tableau was complete. Curious, she went back the next day and found, not a flock, but a cop, guarding the fowl-free tomb. He asked her why she was there, and she answered "to see Hahnemann" and moved on her way. Once she was safely in a neutral country, she sent me the video.
Though we obviously don't approve of vandalism, this harmless prank made us laugh, and we hope you will too. Homeopathy can be laughable, but sadly, it's often taken much too seriously.
