Being the nerd that i am, I have read them all, but my personal favorite has always been:
Here lies John W:

looked up the mine shaft
to see if the cart was on the way down.
It was.

Mine too, DC... For a while it was even on my AIM profile.

You know what is an interesting fact there. One of the dudes supposedly dead, Iain O Gallchobhair or something like that, is actually alive. He is one of those rogue bandit dudes in one of the wilderness.

I believe ANOTHER guy named Gallchobhair shows up in BG2. How's that for persistance?

One of my favorites was:

Here lies the body of Rob.
If not, please notify the undertakers at once. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Another was:
"Stranger please tread this ground with gravity,
Dentist Mark B. is filling his final cavity"
I coulnd't say it without cracking up.

I wish that BG2 had had some grave humor.(heh heh)

which grave is it that summons a wizard if you keep klicking it??

Gravestone spoiler...

I think it's this one:

"Beneath this stone, a lump of clay
Lies Mark D the young
Who on the twenty-third of May
Began to hold his tongue"

That mage is a big scary mofo. :D

Oh, and John Gallagher happened to be Bioware's Head/Director of Concept Art at the time of BG/BG2. What are the odds?

They have a penchant for self-insertion... So answer me this, instead... What are the odds that a guy named James somewhere has an incredible ego?
