Shakespeare Sonnet Shake-Up - Today's Time Waster


Point, click, and mash your way to Shakespeare remixes with the Shakespeare Sonnet Shake-Up. It's AJAX taken just a little bit too far. A simple but well executed goof, the SSS-U lets you pick one by one the lines which go into your Shakespeare mega-mix, handling the drudgery of making everything rhyme for you.

You can burn through whole minutes of your work-day while rearranging the Bard into completely unintelligible chunks of rhyme. SSS-U is potentially somewhat useful as an educational tool, since it does report the Sonnet and line number for each line you choose, but we won't let this gem's tiny chance of teaching us something ruin an otherwise incredible waste of time.

The next logical web mashup should be obvious; The Master Shake-speare sonnet Shake-Up, which would allow you to concoct joint ventures between The Bard and the ATHF.
