Interesting People - Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde's gravestone in Paris, France has had to be restored it was covered in lipstick marks left by tourists.

(The lipstick was gradually destroying it and so the restored gravestone now has a glass barrier to make it "kiss-proof". I have heard of kissing the Blarney Stone, but who in their right mind would kiss a gravestone?)
