Anecdotage passes the Ronseal test

Anecdotage promises to be a one-stop hit for stories - real and alleged - about the world's most famous people, both past and present. Though often painfully slow to load and infuriatingly whimsical in its look and feel, it passes the Ronseal test and does exactly what it says on the tin. Today, for example, I have discovered that notable French expansionist Napoleon was possessed of a wit worthy of Wilde, and that cocaine has done so much damage to so many different people it's frankly astonishing to know it still sells so well. The real, time-wasting joy of this site is simply to stick a name or subject into its search engine and see what it throws up. It's truly an invaluable resource for any wannabe muckraker.
