In one case, one man had a son named James Allen, and the other a son named James Alan. They also had such similar senses of humor that, when monitored while they slept (separately), they both plunged the thermometers into icewater as a jest upon the psychologists monitoring them.<br /><br />I doubt that there is a strand of DNA specific to Shakespeare appreciation, but a combination of genes might predispose someone to like a certain style of drama, and to appreciate a certain type of verbal pyrotechnics.<br /><br />Regards, Nicholas (not as much of a Shakespeare reader as I should be, myself) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
