Question: Do you think Shakespeare's tomb is cursed!?
The inscription on the tomb reads:

Good friend for Jesus sake forbear
To dig the dust enclosed here!
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes!.

In fact there are number of Shakespeare curses!.

For instance, if on a midsummer's night you look in the mirror, say "Shakespeare" four times, spin around in 6 and a half clockwise circles and then say, "The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man’s hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report, what my dream was," you'll be whisked away to a magical forest filled with fairies!.

Oh, I forgot to mention the absinthe!. You have to take about three shots of Absinthe for the above curse to work, but it's awesome!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Considering the times in which he lived and died, and the superstitions of those times, I think this was another example of Shakespeare's brilliance!. He knew people in those days were very superstitious and, therefore, would never move his remains because of his words!

Do I actually believe a person will be cursed if they move his bones!? No!. Do I think the tomb, itself, is cursed!? No!.

Did you know that they are renovating the place where Shakespeare's last resting place is situated, and they have said they will NOT risk the curse and move his bones!? http://www!.news!.com!.au/story/0,23599,237!.!.!. I thought it was interesting, anyway!Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I do not think that it is!. Being Shakespeare, he had a flair for drama, and probably wanted to have his final work to be the same!. But it is cool all the same!.
