Shakespeare: By jove, I think he's got it (or had it): CHIMPY

[E_Zapata]

But man, proud man, / Drest in a little brief authority, / Most
ignorant of what he's most assured, / His glassy essence, like an angry ape, / Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven / As make the angels weep.

-William Shakespeare, playwright and poet (1564-1616)


------And this, my friends, says it all. Now, how can the kids in school bitch that Shakespeare is antiquated and irrelevent?

7. come on

Say "Bertha Venation" out loud.

Then ask Google for "Birth of a Nation", if you're not familiar. Here's a hint: add "Ku Klux Klan" to the search.

...it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
