Oh yeah - in fact I think I brought this up when someone posted Herman
Melville's stats to the web.  And he was an abomination.  For a while there
every famous person was still famous and/or undead.  A long stretch when
you consider how much history has changed from "our" timeline.

Some of that has to be around, just for the "coolness" factor.  But you
will notice that the tendency has stopped or has been minimized with the
more recent releases.  The focus of the game is on the characters to be the
heroes.

BTW - in my game, John Henry is dead.  His hammers are still around, but
he's dead.  He's also the story I use when people want to know how
Storytelling can reduce fear levels.
