That BEKIFFT bit surely can't be what I'm thinking?
Shakespeare flat(out) and stoned?

Search *me*, Andy.  Of course we know what they mean by _platt_ (Lowlands
Saxon/Low German).  But _bekifft_ (stoned, high)?  Maybe the LS version is
so bad and/weird that Shakespeare could have only written that sort of stuff
if he had had a smoke or sniff or two ...  My hunch is that it's a spoof and
that claiming its a spoof is the only way they were able to pull it off ...

Reinhard/Ron
