On arrival in London, I made some substantial updates to my ridiculous Shakespearean Insult Machine: github.com/sanbeiji/lot... A few days later in the Westminster Abbey gift shop, I found this sheet of magnetic Shakespeare insult magnets. If this isn't divine providence, I don't know what is.

A sheet of Shakespearean insult magnets. Here's the entire list of quotes:

There is not ugly a fiend of hell as thou shalt be... - King John
affable wolves... - Timon of Athens
Out, you green-sickness carrion! - Romeo and Juliet
detested parasites - Timon of Athens
thy poison... - Henry VI, Part II
Bolting-hutch of beastliness. - Henry IV, Part I
meek bears... - Timon of Athens
The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes. - Coriolanus
How ill white hairs become a fool and a jester!... - Henry IV, Part II
...So surfeit-swell'd, so old and so profane. - Henry IV, Part II
Your breath first kindled the dead coals of wars... - King John
thou speak'st false... - Comedy of Errors
Thou crusty batch of nature. - Troilus and Cressida
Could I come near your beauty with my nails... - Henry VI, Part II
...I'd set my ten commandments in your face. - Henry VI, Part II
..upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive, till famine cling thee. - Macbeth
Thou smell of mountain goat. - Henry V
She is spherical, like a globe. I could find out countries in her. - The Comedy of Errors
Better a witty fool than a foolish wit. - Twelfth Night
...cream faced loon. - Macbeth
...gibes and notable scorns that dwell in every region of his face. - Othello
Out of my sight! Thou dost infect my eyes. - Richard III
Thou cream-faced loon. Where got'st that goose look? - Macbeth
Hide not thy poison with such sugar'd words. - Henry VI, Part II
My tongue will tell the anger of my heart. - The Taming of the Shrew
Thou elvish-mark'd, abortive, rooting hog. - Richard III
Out, you baggage! You tallow face! - Romeo and Juliet
If I prove honey-mouth'd, let my tongue blister. - The Winter's Tale
...a foolish wit. - Twelfth Night
...he is only an animal - Love's Labour's Lost
Scratching could not make it worse... such a face as yours. - Much Ado About Nothing
...as dull as night. - The Merchant of Venice
I was searching for a fool when I found you. - As You Like It

Thinking a lot about this clip from Steve Jobs, where he likened the computer as a "bicycle for the mind".
