Good Idea / Bad Idea
A few words of wisdom I encountered today:
What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"? It has already been, in the ages before us. (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10)
Or in the words of the Bard, a goad of wisdom given to Achilles by Ulysses in Troilus and Cressida:
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin--
That all with one consent praise new-born gauds,
Though they are made and moulded of things past,
And give to dust that is a little gilt
More laud than gilt o'er-dusted.
The present eye praises the present object. (3.3.169-174)
As you can tell, I am feeling much better now--after a mug of soup, tea, a plate of lasagna, and coffee--and have been reading Shakespeare. Hmm ... the delirium must not be gone yet, reading Shakespeare when ill...good idea? bad idea?

So that's where the Animaniacs reference came from.
