Last Words

Here's an interesting list of (geeky) famous last words. Favorite from the list:

Go away. I'm all right.
—H. G. Wells

But my favorite (not on the list) last words were those of Union General John Sedgewick, before being shot through the left eye and killed in a battle in Spotsylvania:

"What! what! men, dodging this way for single bullets! What will you do when they open fire along the whole line? I am ashamed of you. They couldn't hit an elephant at this dis---"

There may be some question as to whether he finished that last word, but no matter; it should have been left unfinished. Like Al Gore, I'm not going to let the truth get in the way of a good story.
