[SpikeMon] Halloween marks Winter, who was Shakespeare?
It's the 31st of October and this is the day of the year where it is fashionable to dress up in black, adorn a pointy nose and cackle and for the rest of the year Camilla just has to make do the best she can. Contrary to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who believes Halloween is a US holiday served only to annoy him, it actually dates back a little further than the Bush administration. The early Celts marked the beginning of Winter on the 31st, with their new year beginning on the 1st of November. Naturally due to the popularity of this festival among pagans, the church decided to hijack this particular event and claim it as their own for a while. Those wiley Popes eh?
The literary world is in chaos, and no, I am not referring to the recent move by Google to index everything that comes out of a printer. The image that has adorned many a book depicting the infamous Shakespeare turns out not to be him at all. Ooops. I wouldn't go blaming anyone here, because simple mistakes happens. How often have you left a 1hr photo shop only to discover the set of prints you have in your hand isn't of the family event you hoped you could forget but of some one elses family event that seemed infinitely more interesting.
Finally and quickly, for fellow Blackberry junkies, the new 8700 has been seen out in the wild and the reports are very encouraging.
