I want to see this Much Ado About Nothing as badly as I want a new camera. Which if that wanting had a height it would reach the moon.
Don’t fall in love with your eyes; fall in love with your ears. Hearing is much more reliable sense than sight.

Police were called to Elsinore Castle yesterday to investigate the unnatural death of one of the King’s closet advisers. Married, a father of two, Mr. Polonius was discovered stabbed and his body hidden under the stairs to the lobby, although fibers recovered from his wound match a wall hanging in the Queen’s bedroom. DI Dogberry, fresh from his successful solving of the Desdemona murder, told us, “We are eager to integrate a Prince who was absurd in the area shortly after.” Sources close to the King tell us that Prince Hamlet has been acting erratically ever since the unexpected yet entirely natural and unsuspicious death of his father eight weeks before.
