See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

lol it's sad but the thing that got me into Shakespeare was seeing John Cleese on video playing Petrucchio in Taming of the Shrew in Year 8 English.

Stealing Rosamund's answers...

adding 2. Jaques?
4. Dick III by Dick III - I once hear this misquoted as 'Now is the winter of our discoteque' (which has always stuck in my noggin')
6. Merry Wives of Windsor ... I think, but no idea who said it? (going to go google it.)
9. don't know! (another one to go off and google)

Cassius and Caesar said it.

and there's just not enough excuses these days to use "methinks".

How could I forget the Wimbledon wives? And Jaques, As You Like it being one of my favourites? And if Dick yelled for his horse I'd be much surer of the answer. I think "methinks" is a beautiful word, a pity it's an archaism today. And so are many of our Will's words. Every language is a living body and it naturally changes with times, but I'm afraid our present internet slang will take away much of the beauty of the English language.

*Arms akimbo - Ala Robin Hood - he laughs out loud merrily* Ha! Ha! Methinks Rosamund - betwixt thee and me - thou shalt never spy yon Squirrel bothering to type "laughs out loud" in full again. But verily, nay twice-fold I beseech thee, one doth see thy point.

Ha! Ha! I almost fell off my chair laughing merrily. I'm sorry I can't answer you in the same manner, it would take too much time to dig up the books of old Will, Marlowe, Webster and the company. At least one thing is now clear to me, what lol means. I knew it had something to do with laughter, but didn't know what exactly. Thank you for expanding my knowledge of computer slang.

Thank you, Serena, but as I'm going away for the weekend and won't be here until Sunday evening Europian time, I'm passing the honour to post the new quiz to someone else. Della? Greyling?
