A quick toast to the toaster...and happy b-day EAP

It is Jan. 19th, Edgar Allan Poe's birthday. As many will know, Poe died in 1849 and starting in 1949, on this day, an unknown gentleman has left a half filled bottle of cognac and three roses at his grave. There have been few variations, though one occurred in 1993 when he also left a note stating "The torch will be passed." A later note indicated that the original Toaster passed-away in 1998 and the duty has fallen to a son. More here.
