I love this...from Wikipedia about cultural references to Omar Khayyám: Khayyám is quoted at the end of Clarence Darrow's A Plea for Mercy at the trial of Leopold and Loeb. "So I be written in the Book of Love/I do not care about that Book above/Erase my name or write it as you will/So I be written in the Book of Love." But even better still... In a series of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" cartoons, the story line revolves around the "Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam" - a jewelled toy boat. Thanks to Mr. Olberman…
