Ode to one lulzy guy

I know, I know, me again, but... but... THIS:

Guys, I just read something about one of the lulziest people ever: Samuel P. Langley.
Not only did he appoint himself as a curator of an exhibition-room he created, but he also wrote a letter to himself accepting the position.

Just, look at this. I mean, come on:

The secretary of the Smithsonian [that's Langley] has been pleased to confer upon me [that's Langley, too] the honorable but arduous duties of the care of the Children's Room. He has at his service so many men learned in Natural History that I do not know why he has chosen me.
It has been my purpose to earn his trust and to carry out what I believe to be his intention[...]

I think this man is one of my favorite dead people, now. And look at him! He totally has 'lulz' written all over him.
