Discussion / To-do
This page is supposed to hold to-do lists as well as any discussions about pages, tasks, ideas.
With reference to the main thesis of FunWithText it crossed my mind that perhaps it was the other way round and that it was in fact King David, God's amanuensis for the writing of the psalms, who also wrote Shakespeare.
