LAST REQUESTS ANYONE???

April 11th 2012 03:52

Upon his death, the Russian pianist Vladamir Horowitz, bequeathed $300,000 to the famous Juliard School of Music upon one condition.....that they never name a prize or competition after him.

Italian Lodovico Cortusio died in 1418 leaving instructions in his will that forbade anyone who shed a single tear for him receiving anything from his estate. Instead the person who laughed the loudest and most would receive the bulk of his estate.

One final request from playwright Tennessee Williams was that none of his works should ever be interfered with or edited.

American John Bowman who died in 1891, stipulated in his will that dinner was to be cooked and prepared for him every night in case he came back to life.

Napoleon Bonaparte set out in his will that upon his death, his hair should be cut off and shared between his friends.

In fact a little bit of wee went a long way in those days. It was mixed into the soap that they used during bathing, and it was also used as a washing detergent for their clothing. White clothing in particular was used with urine in order to keep it white.
