Heinrich Heine (1797-1856), a German poet. Seriously, the guy was crazy.

I'm reading about him for school. Here are some of my favourite things he did: When he was young, he threw his dancing teacher out of the window. In university, he was suspended for dueling. Later, he killed his wife's parrot with rat poison, because he was jealous of the attention she gave it.

Oh, those romantic poets.

And on a totally unrelated note: I went to watch Made of Honor last Friday. Oh my GOD it's such a stupid movie.
