W.H. AUDEN'S "FUNERAL BLUES FOR GARY GYGAX"
The dice are not rolling now; bag up every shape,
Put away your helmet and take off your cape,
Pour away the soda and eat the last Funyun;
For life without Gary is forever minus one

You gotta mention the T. Rex in the Batcave. The giant penny will get a buyer's interest, but any real estate agent will tell you that the most important things are location, location and giant stuffed dinosaurs when it comes to moving property....

What's a bulter? Also, why did Batman have that giant penny in his cave? At first I thought it was Two-Face related, but doesn't Two-Face have a double-sided quarter, not a penny? Or maybe he won it at a fair?

I wonder how much copper is in that giant penny. If the wiki entry is to be trusted he's had it since around 1947, which means it'd probably still mostly copper... *ponders*
Maybe Batman should get into the scrap metal business?
