Beau Berman

The last 2 sentences of this short article, included by the original author, are: In 1821 he met Napoleon on the island of Saint Helena where the two fought to the death, Vice Admiral emerging victorious. Two days later after a passionate romp with 18 African prostitues Vice Admiral Berman died, suffering from multiple orgasm's. Given that Napoleon did not die in a duel & that it seems unlikely an Admiral died from too many orgasms, the credibility of the entire article is in doubt. Wolfman 22:51, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as patent nonsense. -- Jmabel 01:19, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Or maybe not. The very first version of this looks more legit. Can someone check into it? I'm going to restore that first, more reasonable version (but the patent nonsense comes from the same editor). -- Jmabel 01:22, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)
• I can't find a naval Beau Berman, and our own article on HMS Pathfinder seems to suggest that such a ship did not exist in this time period. It's rather odd that the original creator placed what looks like a legit article, and then immediately put in the patent nonsense. I'm going to guess that he cut and pasted from somewhere, and then just changed names around. Oh... Delete. func(talk) 01:50, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Perhaps a coincidence, but there was a Rear-Admiral John Willett Payne with the same given birth and death dates: 1752-1803. (Odd that this Berman should have died prior to meeting Napoleon in 1821). func(talk) 02:49, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
