I captured my own Hamlet on film, and uploaded it to Youtube, and it will be there until the end of the digital age, whether anyone likes it or not.  So you might as well just like it.  Or, if not, fling your tomatoes : D

For those of you literary magicians interested in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, I have a puzzle for you. In act 2, Hamlet mentions a speech of some dozen or sixteen lines (2,2,543).  Many have speculated over which lines from the mousetrap play in act 3 are lines inserted by Hamlet. Look no further. The dozen or sixteen lines are a sonnet written by Hamlet beginning at line 204 and ending with 217 (act 3, scn 2). I’ll admit, it’s an oddly shaped sonnet, with the turn after the 10th line (especially when you consider the true author), but I encourage you to read the mousetrap play sequence with and without these lines, and compare. Also, try reading these lines as a stand-alone sonnet. And remember this: you’re never wasting your time if you’re reading Hamlet.
