Forget mindless flash games. Take a break from Spider Solitaire. Instead, take a virtual tour of Père-Lachaise, the largest cemetery in the city of Paris and believed to be the most-visited in the world.

Here’s what you do.

Click on Panoramas 360.

This will cause white dots to appear on the map.

Click on one (It will turn red.) and a photo of that location will appear in the viewer. But it’s not just a photo, it’s a panorama that you can control by placing the cursor in the picture.

See the white triangular pointers on the left and right. Placing the cursor near them in the photo will cause the scene to slowly spin 360 degrees. Removing the cursor from the viewer or placing it in the middle will stop the rotation.

Go up and look at the map again. Notice the light that seems to be shining from the circled red dot? That’s the direction being seen in the viewer. As the viewer is made to spin, the light on the map spins in sync.

Also, see the faded white arrow and red circle in the viewer above? In the tour, if you place the cursor on one of those arrows, it will darken. Click on it and you move along to the next white arrow, represented by a white dot on the map. In this manner, you can wander around Père-Lachaise. The map will keep track of your whereabouts.

Is that exceedingly cool or what?

If you click on Famous Graves, you can view, well, famous graves.

Here are a few:

Can you guess what the polka dots are on Oscar Wilde’s grave?

They are kisses:

By tradition, Wilde’s admirers kiss the monument while wearing lipstick. I think that’s lovely.

Jean Valjean’s name doesn’t appear on the famous persons virtual tour, but at the end of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, Valjean, in accordance with his will, is buried anonymously in some remote place in Père-Lachaise Cemetery.

When it comes to public speaking, Latter-Day Saints have (at least) two advantages over most other people:

We get to see and hear excellent speakers—as we just did for General Conference— and we get opportunities, ourselves, to speak in church.

Still, this list has some useful pointers. I read the whole thing and found ideas worth noting.

Number 10 wasn’t of much use, since it warns against a technique not favored by Mormons much anyway.

Some comments, such as 119, left me scratching my head.

Number 214 was just a restatement of number 13—though I noticed that President Monson used this technique to good effect.

There are some gems in there. Have a look.
