To qoute a famous man

"to be scared is to be sane"

*looks around for awhile*

Okay I made that up, but it sounds obscure enough to be real.

True. Does sound like one of those so-ridiculous-it-could-be-true things.

I got a fortune cokkie once that said

"You maybe happy."

Freakishly later that day I had an unexpected bout of happyness, so now I live my life by the not-very-accurate-predictions of Confuncius.

Oh don't worry, I pegged it on my lawn with a well aimed rock... sadly my dog, mistaking it for a side of ham, ripped it too pieces.

My great grandfather was Richard O Carroll, member of Citizens Army, captured at Jacobs factory and executed in Portabello Barracks in 1916. Anyone got any more info on him?

Gnomon - time to move on

I see references to somebody who might be him in this document:

http://www.funeralbooking.com/files/writers_tour.pdf

and I see his name on a list of those executed during the 1916 rising, but I don't know anything further about him. I might ask my daughter, who studied the Rising in great detail in school.
