Shakespeare playing pool

This is an illustration from a few years back that I altered a little for this post. I'm going to say that Shakespeare's plays involved intricate plotting, to legitimatize this as this week's IF entry. In searching "Shakespeare silly" on Google Blog Search, I found this: Wm. Shakespeare's Five and Twenty Random Things Abovt Me by Mike McPhaden, it's wonderful - recommended reading, especially for English Literature teachers.

Edit: It occurred to me that this looks like a particular play to me...what do you think?
