Shakespeare Humor

Here's an interesting article about Shakespeare's use of "fools" in his works and how they would relate to the modern world/who they would be.

Thoughts?

Side note: I also found it amusing that his wife's name was Anne Hathaway (some more interesting facts under the Shakespeare facts section). Maybe her parents were avid Shakespeare readers or historians. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Probably the latter.
