Talk like Shakespeare Day in Chicago

Today, in Chicago, Mayor Daley has declared the "Talk like Shakespeare Day". While I think it's a good idea to remember the great Elisabethan bard, I won't make any attempt to talk like him. Supposedly, you have to replace "you" with "thou", "is" with "tis", start your sentences with "methinks" and end every verb with "eth".


Why I mention this, beside to remember you that it's time to brush up on your Shakespeare knowledge? Well, a while ago, I've seen an advertisment on a bench, saying "Shakespeare, creating employment for the last 400 years." How true! I still remember that ad. 

So, brother, where art thou?
