The following post will at first seem to be one kind of undesirable entry, but turn out to be an entirely different kind of undesirable entry.

I took several tests online to determine what my relative strengths were in my multiple intelligences. Through a complex process of weighting* the various tests and averaging them, I got the following scores for the eight different intelligences.

Musical: 55
Linguistic: 46
Logical/Mathematical:44
Interpersonal: 37
Bodily/Kinesthetic: 36
Natural: 35
Visual: 28
Intrapersonal: 22

The categories are pretty self-explanatory: linguistic intelligence refers to language use (writing, speaking) as opposed to language analysis; natural intelligence is tree-huggingness. The rest are unambiguous, I hope.

Now for the sudden change from one type of post to another.

The reason I'm bothering to tell y'all this is Englische class. We need to make use of our stronger intelligences to create something for the class to illuminate an aspect of a work we study; specifically, I need to create something to illuminate an aspect of Hamlet.

As a note, I don't want to write a song. Yes, I've thought of that, as has every other person with a strong open quote musical intelligence close quote and a strong open quote linguistic intelligence close quote.

So, since I'm not strong in intelligent intelligence, I'm appealing to all you folk. Your mission is to think of something I could do, and post it as a comment. I may never find out if you read this and don't respond, but Jesus will know and will rain curses down upon you in His mercy.

John Q. Parker of St. Stephens, Mass-uh-chew-sits posted an idea here last year. The next day, he won the lottery, was cured of cancer, and married the love of his life.

James Q. Primrose of Stephenville NewFoundLand read this and didn't post an idea. The next day, the love of his life was diagnosed with cancer and his ex-wife won the lottery.

Bet you didn't see that coming.

Also, Jared Q. Pinter of Sankte Sven, Northern Europe has never read this and has not done anything about it. His grandfather had an operation to remove superficial skin cancer, someone he knew in high school won the lottery, and he thinks that his wife is probably the love of his life because he's not allowed to think otherwise.

As promised:

some ways of lighting up Hamlet:
- a dog and pony show where you conduct a chorus of dogs and ponies.
- work with rhythme rather than note? (the cowbell can respresent the milk maidens of denmark and the tempo can demonstrate the changes in plot dynamics through the acts)
- become the singing detective/jury member that stages a trial analyzing anything that includes logic and mathematics. sporadically break into song.
- these ideas are becoming worse by the moment. Not strong on intelligent intelligence either. I'll stop here.
