    thought i'd share

    ahh, reading a (somewhat unorthodox, yet mildly amusing) summary of shakespeare's macbeth, and i come across an anecdote that made me chuckle a bit on the inside; thought i'd share it. they're talking about the scene in which lady macbeth is convincing macbeth to kill the king:

    "Macbeth gives in remarkably easily for a rock-hard highlander - they're meant to be able to crack rocks in their sporrans. Or something. Mind you, that "dashing the brains out" image is enough to make anyone lose their lunch, even a caber-tossing, bagpipe-blowing, claymore-swinging nutter in a skirt."

    haha, that's us, in a nutshell. the link is http://sunflower.singnet.com.sg/~yis...es/macbeth.htm, if anyone cares. cheers all.

    Well, if you're wearing the kilt, then by default they're made of steel! haha.

    OK I admit it, my mind did play some strange tricks on me when I read that, but after remembering Macbeth it became clear to me. I don't have rocks in my head

    Great anecdote Seamus thanks for sharing
