BTW,

Sadly, Shakespeare's lawyer line is taken out of context.  Read in
context, it's basically saying that it would be silly to suggest
killing all of the lawyers.

Oh well ... wonder what that first draft looked like, prior to
Will passing it through the legal department?   :)


BTW, I tried to find a few URLs with the original text from the play ...
boy, what a mismash of misinformation is out on the web!  Many people
misquote the phrase (minor changes, mostly), and I saw it
attributed to the plays: Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI.
I also stumbled over www.killalllawyers.com.  I'm giving up!
(The fact that my NT 4.0 machine suddenly decided it didn't want to
talk to the outside world during this search didn't help much ...
I'm rebooting it now.)
