There's such a thing as unsweetened condensed milk?

For the love of god, WHY???

Back to shakespeare...

Could it be they were ALL written by William Ireland (and just REALLY good forgeries)?

We know that Thomas Kyd wrote a version of 'Hamlet'. So could a variant of a myspelink virus got into the earlier text and eventually someone in Stratford found the text that we attribute to Shakespeare?

I can't think of condensed milk without recollecting the scene from the movie "Figures in a Landscape" (based on a book which is 500% better). The two fleeing prisoners (Malcolm McDowell and Sean Connery if memory serves) down a couple of cans of it each; the only thing they could steal to eat as they stumble around the countryside dodging an army of seekers.

After an hour or so, the substance wends its way through their systems and they are gripped (fairly *loosely* gripped at one extremity, if you get my drift) by crippling pain and spend a minute or so of screen time crouching (so to speak), moaning and groaning. Sean Connery looks up and, tears streaming down his cheeks, utters the immortal line, "Ah boy. We're livin' like Kings!"

We've come from Shakespeare to diahrroea!

Is this condensed miulk episode symbolic of Hamlet: Oh, that this too too solid flesh should melt.....?

"We've come from Shakespeare to diahrroea!"
