Aug 28– From Faust by Goethe (1832) translated by Anna Swanwick

Summary: Faust kills his babymama's brother. 

Commentary: I always think of Futurama when I read Goethe's Faust. Faust is just an extra horny Bender, with Mephistopheles following him around singing and goading him to be even worse behaved.
