Billy Kemp was a great Scot who died a couple of years ago at the young age of 52. He was a councilman, husband, father and pillar of his community. His family couldn't possibly post all that on a tombstone. But they did manage to fit http://www.billykemp.org.uk/ on there. Yep, Kemp's tombstone doubles as a billboard for his Web site, created posthumously by his son as a tribute to his father's life. The grave site has gotten more than 33,000 hits, perhaps more visits than the gravesite!
