    Default What did you Wiki today?

    Wikipedia - I now love it - can't get enough of it, often reading one thing after another.

    Because of Saturdays show I've been reading up on Shakespeare - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shakespeare

    But was interested to find out there is a missing play which has never been found, kind of the Tenth Planet Episode 4 of the Bard - it's called Loves Labour Won ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love%27s_Labour%27s_Won

    Also because I was listening to Circular Time, I've been looking up Isaac Newtons history in the Royal Mint ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_newton

    Which led me to look up Johannes Kepler - who my History of Astronomy lecturer always told me was the inspiration for the Master with his goatee beard. A gifted mathematician with a nasty past (possibly killing his teacher Tycho Brahe) who even put his wife on the game so he had drinking money - all lies it seems! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler

    Just wiki'd George Sewell who's died ...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Sewell

    Which led me to the Detectives thread ...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Detectives

    Which says,

    It was a spoof of police dramas, which were numerous in the 1990s
    Excuse me, but aren't they even more numberous in the naughties?

    I wiki'd Joan of Arc yesterday - it was fascinating reading about her life. She was executed aged just 19, but her bravado and significance (for an uneducated peasant) is still remembered today.

    Si.

    I checked out if it recognised the ODESSA as an organisation which it did.

    I've been looking into the Chronology of Shakespeare Plays - the order is not really known ...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronol...kespeare_plays

    1594-1597 Love's Labour's Won

    In Francis Meres' 1598 list of Shakespeare plays. In Christopher Hunt's August 1603 booklist. A lost play.
    Whoops about the Shakespeare Code set in 1599 then!
