http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2009/11/6hilsabeck.html McSweeney’s was all over the map a few months ago with their Hamlet on Facebook, and now they’re at it again. This time it’s the Shakespeare Police Blotter, and covers a number of favorites:
John Macduff, 32, of Fife County, decapitated his long-time acquaintance and political rival, William Macbeth, of Cawdor County, last Sunday at the latter man’s home in Dunsinane. … At approximately 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, a Verona man ingested a fatal dose of arsenic inside his lover’s family’s mausoleum. He was later identified as Romeo Montague, 22. A second victim, later identified as Juliet Capulet, 17, also of Verona, was found dead next to him.
I just realized they made Juliet 17, I wonder why? Seems odd that they’d miss such an obvious detail, they seem to know their stuff otherwise.
