As school starts again, I know a lot of you out there have been or will be required to read Hamlet. The ever funny McSweeney's has, well, let me just excerpt some:HAMLET(FACEBOOK NEWSFEED EDITION).

"Horatio thinks he saw a ghost.
Hamlet thinks it's annoying when your uncle marries your mother right after your dad dies.
The king thinks Hamlet's annoying.
Laertes thinks Ophelia can do better.
Hamlet's father is now a zombie.
- - - -
The king poked the queen.
The queen poked the king back.
Hamlet and the queen are no longer friends.
Marcellus is pretty sure something's rotten around here.
Hamlet became a fan of daggers. "

My favorite lines are: "Ophelia removed "moody princes" from her interests." AND "Polonius is no longer online."
It won't help you pass your test, but it's certainly a fun take on a famous play - and nice break from your homework. Read the whole thing here.
