While the rest of the world sleeps, I am confined to a deserted computer lab. Sure I enjoy the compensation I am being provided for not interacting with a single human soul, but I believe I should share equal rights in celebrating Martin Luther King Junior's birthday along with everybody else.

And by celebrating, I mean sleeping.

That's how important historical figures are honoured these days, by setting aside an entire twenty-four-hour period for sleeping.

I wonder if the same would hold true for an outrageously important historical figure who died violently in his sleep?
