This one’s amazing: [From Hamlet by Shakespeare]
To be or not to be: that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
Becomes:
In one of the Bard’s best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.
And the grand finale:
“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” – Neil A. Armstrong
Becomes:
A thin man ran; makes a large stride; left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!
