Did you hear the story that a couple of years back, the plate in the cockpit of HMS Victory, proclaiming "Nelson fell here" was rebated into the deck (made flush with, rather than standing proud). The navy refused to comment on the theories that this was to finally kill all the jokes like "No wonder, I tripped over the bloody thing myself".

I once heard another interesting theory that Nelson's last words were actually "Kismet (ie Fate), Hardy" rather than the usually reported request for a snog.
