Happy Birthday, Cthulu!

Yes, today is H.P. Lovecraft's birthday. This is one of the very few authors who wrote stories so frightening that I slept with the lights on. He died at age 46, probably from performing the odd rite that went horribly wrong. Those multi-tentacled entities are not noted for their sense of fun and jolly sense of humor.
