Seriously? Naw, probably not, coming from such a verbal prankster.

Now I think that if it is possible to really accurately and fairly determine long after a famed and widely admired person's death that he was, after all, a flawed human being, even perhaps CHOOSING the "homosexual lifestyle", as some (not I) would say, then it is an excellent tolerance-teaching lesson.

Why is it that we have a need to turn human beings into gods, anyway? I think it is all wrapped up in the same stuff that causes us to create religious belief systems, maybe.
