Cool guys – I second Will’s request for Dante Alighieri and I’d add Machiavelli. I just don’t know much about him other than his reputation today. Also, John Donne, Jonathan Swift, Julian of Norwich, and Tyndale. Oh, and maybe Alexander Pope? What little I’ve read of his work is just dripping with irony.

Kelly: Does your roommate play with knives? Is there a toga hanging in her closet? Has she been talking about flash mobs lately? If so, beware the Ides of March.

My roommate, Amy, is requesting more information on good ol’ Julius Caesar. She wants it by the Ides of March.

I don’t know about the blueberries, but I would say they definitely ate too much lutefisk. ANY lutefisk is too much lutefisk.

A married couple trying to live up to a snobbish lifestyle went to a party. The conversation turned to Mozart. “Absolutely brilliant, magnificent, a genius!”

The woman, wanting to join in the conversation, remarked casually, “Ah, Mozart. You’re so right. I love him. Only this morning I saw him getting on the No. 5 bus going to Coney Island.”

There was a sudden hush, and everyone looked at her. Her husband was mortified. He pulled her away and whispered, “We’re leaving right now. Get your coat and let’s get out of here.”

As they drove home, he kept muttering to himself. Finally his wife turned to him. “You’re angry about something.”

“Oh really? You noticed?” he sneered. “I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life! You saw Mozart take the No. 5 bus to Coney Island? You idiot! Don’t you know the No. 5 bus doesn’t go out to Coney Island?” Taken from Basic Jokes Website, http://www.basicjokes.com/djoke.php?id=68
