OT: 2B | ~2B == Q

[Rich The Philosophizer]

I kinda wanted to go look up "Hamlet's 'Soliloquy'", 'cause I was feeling
a little philosophical, and that to be or not stuff is kinda intriguing,
in its own little way. Anyways, I kinda remarked to no one in particular,
"I've never actually read 'Hamlet's "Soliloquy"' in toto", and my inner
Groucho quipped, "Well, _in_ Toto, it would be much too dark to read
'Hamlet's "Soliloquy"'." <rimshot>

Thanks!
Rich

So go rent "Hamlet" with Mel Gibson and Glenn Close (and Helena Bonham

Carter -- woo hoo!). Very, very good flick.

Don't bother Rich; you've apparently decided that "'tis
nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune" since It's Your Fault they're being
aimed at you in the first place.

That leads to the "not to be" option. If you're
comfortable with that, goodbye.

Me, I'd rather "take arms against a sea of troubles
and by opposing end them" before they end me, when
appropriate. This option at least offers the possibility of
continuing "to be".

The way I heard Groucho tell it was, 'Outside of a dog, a book is a
man's best friend. Inside a dog its too dark to read.'

Now I _know_ I gotta read that puppy! These are all old familiar

saws, which, duh, but there is something in my own inner 7-
dimensional hypertorus that wants to refute something in there.
Something about ending troubles by opposing them. Don't most
sentient beings already know that "opposing," as in "taking
up arms against", might actually _exacerbate_ the troubles in
the sea? Or even, and this is the wackiest of all, _cause_
them?

Mr. Shakespeare was obviously channeling a higher wisdom, but
when you look at the _really_ big picture, even his inspiration
pales in comparison to the latest revelation extant,

Oh, dear. The drugs are kicking in.

Can I get back to you on this?

Thanks,
