Ok, I just can't seem to get away from the computer. I added a link to Francis Heaney's website, Heaneyland! Now Heaney (no relation to Irish poet Seamus Heaney to my knowledge) has released a book called The Holy Tango of Literature. In this incredibly witty collection of poems and fragments of plays, Heaney makes an anagram out of a poet or playwright's name, and turns it in to the title of a work they never wrote, and then writes one in their style.

It's a bit difficult to describe but the results are hilarious and brilliant. For example the titles of some of the works in this book are: Toilets by T.S. Eliot, I Will Alarm Islamic Owls by William Carlos Williams, and Is a Sperm like a Whale? by William Shakespeare. Great stuff!
