Tired of looking for love in all the wrong places? A new kind of dating site… 😉 Take the test here: [http://www.biography.com/home\_page/dead\_celebrity\_soulmate.jsp](http://www.biography.com/home_page/dead_celebrity_soulmate.jsp) My three candidates are Edgar Allen Poe, Leonardo da Vinci, and Beethoven. I found their profiles to be particularly enticing: _Fill in the blanks._ Madness is sexy… melancholia is sexier (A search shows this was posted on SDMB over a year ago. Maybe it’s time for another?) ---

Frida Kahlo, Eva Peron, Agatha Christie, Rudolph Valentino, Edgar Allan Poe and Leonardo da Vinci. I’m not seeing it. Maybe the latter. Now, my _real_ dead celebrity soulmate… I’m betting it’s John Lennon. ---

Rudolph Valentino, Pancho Villa, Leonardo da Vinci are my three. I asked Rudy for a date and got this response: “Ah, cara mia! Your very words make me al dente with desire! I would be honored and delighted to escort you to dinner, and perhaps afterwards, if you will permit me, I can teach you how to dance the sensual Argentine tango Valentino-style. (Do not worry, we will leave our clothes on for at least the first lesson.)” ---
