In light of the recent discussion about Mark Twain and his disbelief in
Shakespeare of Stratford's authorship of the plays, and that as evidence of
Twain's lack of "deep thought," I was reading Freud today (Interpretation
of Dreams), and right after a discussion of Hamlet, Freud has a footnote,
dated 1930, saying he no longer believes in Shakespeare of Stratford's
authorship.  I'm not defending Twain's position, but pointing out that a
few intellectual heavyweights shared his view.

BTW, I keep falling asleep while reading Freud, having strange dreams, and
scaring myself!  Now off on a voyage in a drop of water...ring up the
Superintendent of Dreams, please!
