Methinks it is like a weasel. (I can keep going, you know.)

It looks like some sort of hospital chair with a serving tray attached to me.

Then I will come to my mother by and by.
(Did you know that Ogden Nash wrote a poem called "Very Like a Whale"?)

I'm lost. I'm sure you guys are quoting from something that I should have read at some point in my life.

Um, yes. Hamlet. Act III scene ii, to be precise.

There is a reef on the coast of Queensland shaped like a heart; indeed it is called Heart Reef and Japanese tourists pay a lot of money to be married over it (apparently good luck).

thanks guys. Just wanted to see if there was any substance at all to the rumors. Of course, rampant speculation is about as far as it goes. As you guys pointed out a cursory google search nets you about all there is to know about it (which is not much).

Hardly anyone I know was taught the comedies in school, and practically everyone I know, if they were taught any, was taught Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. Maybe Julius Caesar and maybe either Macbeth or Othello.

High School for me was Romeo and Juliet, Julius Ceasar, and Taming of the Shrew. We didn't go near Hamlet. Then I majored in English in college and got pretty much all of them.

Julius Caesar and Macbeth here: the A-level syllabus probably included more, but I gave up English Lit after O-level...
