Google celebrates Bram Stoker's 165th birthday


Bram Stoker, best known for having penned the novel Dracula, would have celebrated his 165th birthday today.

An interesting bit of trivia is that Stoker's ashes are kept in an urn at Golders Green Crematorium, London. These may be visited, but only if accompanied by a crematorium employee, as there are fears that the urn may be vandalised.

Definitely an unusual attraction to see next time one is in London.
