"This is a small step for man, but a giant leap for mankind." I think that the "ran" is too much.

To be or not to be, that's the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune [...]

There was a single "i" left I think. And yes it was extremely obvious but I did do it by heart and then went on to recite the next several lines just for the sheer semi-pedantic heck of it.

25. is Bruce Springsteen

[/QUOTE]Actually Mel... if you have a single "I" left over, I'm guessing it belongs with the "s" you put in "that's".

In other words: "To be, or not to be. That is the question.

Of course, I could be very very wrong. Hope that helps [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Dave, that could be it. Although I really thought I didn't miss anything when I was making the anagram in Word... ah well. I did type it as that's here, so must've done the same thing there. Nasty habit, will have to pay attention when proofreading my Shakespeare essay.

That'd be the bloody last straw. Try not to have that happen, mate.. it'd mean adding yet another person to the lost list (i.e. me). One other person at the very least, that is.
