There is a danger in having been involved with musical theater. After that, heck, anything can happen.

For example, when you get married, the toast to the bride could turn into, well, a production number.

Don’t worry if you can’t read all the signs at the beginning, the good stuff starts to happen right after that.

The bride’s classic jaw-drop when more and more people jump up to sing and the moment when the groom gentle dabs away the bride’s tears have made Amy’s Song my favorite internet video.

When I was young, my [non-LDS] mother impressed upon me the need for careful punctuation by reciting this phrase:

“Good, by god, I’m going to Arkansas.”

A missing comma, she explained, gives this alternate version:

“Goodbye God, I’m going to Arkansas.”

This came to mind when I read that archaeologists, planning to exhume Parley P. Pratt and rebury him in Utah, could find no trace of him in his grave.

Parley had a great sense of humor. I’d like to think that he’s laughing about this.

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.

All the groups of blanks in this poem are anagrams of the same six letters. Some form one word, some are broken up into two.

The _ _ _ _ _ _ Town devil shook
When he saw the path Lehi took.
He tried to _ _ _ _ _ _
A deep, _ _ _ _ _ _ mist,
and _ _ _ _ _ _ fill each cranny and nook.

But Lehi followed the rod,
Which to say, _ _ _ _ _ _ed to God.
He traveled the route
That led to the fruit.
_ _ _ ‘ _ all tread _ _ the path that he trod.
