Masami Phoenix: Poe wrote on both!
Guesss Who: I was just about to say that . . .
So It Begins: I like the Jasper Fforde version better: "Because there is a 'b' in 'both'." Yup, another pun.
Cidolfas: Actually, Fforde used both versions at different times, ironically. 8-)
Machiavelli Jr: Is it only me who was expecting this to be about Belisarius' Maxim (as in the Byzantine general) "a throne is a marvellous sepulchre"? It's a good quote, and royalty does seem to be a dangerous business in fact and fiction
Fly: Now we can have punctuated titles, shouldn't we turn this into "Bellisario's Maxim"?
Doktor von Eurotrash: I think it was Empress Theodora who said that, not Belisarius. But yes, I thought about that guy too.
