Listen my children, and you may see

Paul Revere  (Portrait by John Singleton Copley)

For all those who idolize celebrities, here's some sobering news:  Boston archaeologists may have unearthed Paul Revere’s outhouse.

Yes, my children, he too was human.  And as such, he too excused himself every now and then.  Hopefully on a regular basis.

That being said, “all manner of [household] items [also] ended up in outhouses.”  Perhaps there’s even some Revere Ware in the mix.  We’ve heard it cleans up well, as do most of history’s legends.
