Happy Beethoven's Birthday to all my CF Friends!!!!!
For many years it was rumored that composer Ludwig van Beethoven had completed a tenth symphony before his death and that, at his request, the manuscript was buried with him. Several years ago a group of musical scholars obtained permission from the Austrian government to exhume Beethoven's body in an effort to locate the missing manuscript. The casket was carefully removed from Beethoven's grave in Vienna's Zentral-Friedhof, the final resting place of many great composers.
When the casket was opened, the scholars were shocked to see Beethoven holding a musical score in one hand and a large eraser in the other hand. He was furiously erasing the the music.
"Maestro Beethoven," shouted one of the scholars," what are you doing?"
"Isn't it obvious, you idiot," replied the long-dead composer. "I'm decomposing!"
