billy the kid’s grave
from billy the kid posted in history by prof_improbable
Legendary outlaw William "Billy the Kid" Bonney (birth name: Henry McCarty) was buried in the Old Fort Sumner cemetery after he was shot by Sheriff Pat Garrett in 1881.
The tombstone is surrounded in a cage since it's been stolen three times. The placement is a guess, since the original wooden marker washed away in a flood.

Les Invalides, or more officially known as L'Hôtel national des Invalides (French for "The National Residence of the Invalids"), is a series of museums and crypts dedicated to French military history.
Under the central dome of the structure is the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821), whose remains were repatriated here in 1840, and then placed in their present tomb (made of red quartzite and resting on a green granite base) in 1861.

With several buildings spreading out over 26 acres, this is the location of the Google corporate campus, or the Googleplex. First leased in 2003, Google purchased the campus in 2006.
Among the many unique facts about the Googleplex is the use of alternative energy. There are solar panels covering the rooftops of 8 buildings and 2 solar carports, and capable of producing 1.6 megawatts of electricity.
In addition, four 100kW Bloom Energy Servers were shipped to Google in July 2008, making Google the first customer of Bloom Energy.
