Remembering the Bard

Will Shakepeare was born in late April, 1564. He died April 23, 1616. In his homeland The Telegraph mourns the disappearance of the Bard from UK schools. (Is it happening here as well?)

Shakepeare coined many a phrase that continues to come in handy.

Sub-prime mortgage loans? "Vanished into thin air."

Bought a synthetic CDO? "More fool you."
