There's an odd thing going on in the UK - memorial plaques are popping up on benches everywhere dedicated to the Devenish-Phibbs family.
The Devenish-Phibbs family plaques range from “Dutch Devenish-Phibbs - He spent his life married to the sea, and his last twelve hours married to Fang-Hua, an 18-year-old Korean acrobat†to “If you can read this, then you're less dead than me.â€
Check out the family hilarity in the gallery.
Implications - My favorite of these quirky tags has got to be the one that reads, "If you can read this, then you're less dead than me." How morbidly delicious are these darkly comedic tags?
