(From [livejournal.com profile] nexstarman):
William Shakespeare

Blow, blow, thou winter wind.
Thou art not so unkind
As man's Internet.

Which work of Shakespeare was the original quote from?

I actually tried this a bunch of different times (maybe a dozen, or so); I think I know my Shakespeare, in general. But I only knew about half of these half-right (knowing the play, but forgetting the original word, or vice-versa) right off the bat. (In this particular case, I knew the play immediately, but the original word slipped my mind).

What can I say? that man wrote a whole freaking lot of individual lines -- I can't be expected to keep them all straight, can I?

Anyway, I liked this random generation best, because it came through as the most true.

I thought it was Al Gore's internet? ::revives old joke::

Well, the quote never specifies which man, does it?
