CHICAGO — As a college student, Brett Thurman isn't one to pass up free food.

So during the first few weeks of school, when the University of Illinois-Chicago student spotted a coupon on campus for a free sandwich at a particular Subway on a certain day, he snapped it up.

When Thurman and his classmates rolled into the off-campus shop to get hooked up with a hoagie, however, they were greeted by more than the counter help.



From wikipedia:
Alphonse Marie Louise Prat de Lamartine (Alphonse-Marie-Louis de Prat de Lamartine) (October 21, 1790 - February 28, 1869) was a French writer, poet and politician, born in Mācon, Burgundy into French provincial nobility.

He is famous for his partly autobiographical poem, "Le Lac" ("The Lake"), which describes in retrospect the fervent love shared by a couple from the point of view of the bereaved man. Lamartine was masterly in his use of French poetic forms. He was one of very few French literary figures to combine his writing with a political career. Raised a devout Catholic Lamartine became a pantheist, writing Jocelyn and La Chute d'un ange. He wrote Histoire des Girondins in 1847 in praise of the Girondists.
