The opening phrase "Salted, or not salted, that is the question" from the play "Peanuts" proves that William Shakespeare was greatly concerned with this controversial issue.

STOP PRESS! This is surely a world exclusive??!!?!?!

So Orm let's be clear: are you saying you have evidence that the Bard himself, the great William Shakespeare, actually wrote Peanuts? You mean it was he that created Snoopy, Linus, Charlie Brown (one of my personal heroes along with Eyeore) Peppermint Patty et al and not Schulz?

Wow that really is mega and knocks Ambrose into a cocked-hat (whatever that is). Tell me more - this is BIG!

No, no. Although William Shakespeare wrote peanuts all the other works you mention were in fact written by Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford.

Edit: Eyeore? [&:]

Schultz wrote a little known comic strip in Bulgaria called Stalin's Organ.

Which leads me to an important question - does eveyone in Bulgaria have a name ending in V?

No. Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires in Bulgaria Catherine Barber has a name that do not end with a V

Listen Orm - no one likes a smart alec [;)] However, you are quite right and I shall re-phrase the question:

Does every Bulgarian have a surname ending in V?

I suppose most of them have a surname that ends with a V. But I did remember they had a ruler Boris III, Tsar of Bulgaria, during WWII. But to be sure I looked him up and his full name was Boris Klemens Robert Maria Pius Ludwig Stanislaus Xaver and I suppose that his name sort of answers your question.

Good work Orm. Can I ask you to follow up on the Shakespeare/Peanuts story? See what you can get from asking around but only use top quality sources - try The National Enquirier and The Daily Star first.

Okay you can go more upmarket if you think that will help - try Razzle or NUTS perhaps. I know, go to the TV networks - Heraldo and Jeremy Kyle. Whatever, just get to the bottom of the story Orm you are wasting time - goodness, I wish Ambrose was still with us; he would have written a flippin book by now.

I will pray to Saint Ambrose for an answer on how to write a book on this subject in 30 minutes. Maybe that will help me.

For information on Salted or Unsalted....The Salted variety was for long term preservation and used by Naval Personell exclusively, while the Un-salted was utilized for civilian consumption, (no not the disease), and has a very short shelf life, which explains why you have trouble finding same at a movie theatre. These excerpts are from "Principles of Peanut Brittle" by Babar the Elephant. (copywrited)

Another amazing fact!! I have followed Formula 1 Motor Racing properly since 1982 and I never knew this:

Since crash helmets were first introduced into the sport, they have all been made from Peanut Brittle (not Brazilian for obvious reasons). [X(] One of the biggest problems has always been drivers getting hungry during a race. There have been instances where a driver has actually eaten part of his helmet during long races!

According to Ambroses' 2001 bestseller: Peanut Brittle the F1 years, this is the reason that one of the main questions asked of a prospective driver by a team owner during the interview process is "Do you have a sweet tooth?". A driver that says yes is unlikely to get a drive, a) because he might generally get too fat and thus not be able to fit in the car, and b) it is very distracting trying to eat your own crash helmet while heading towards the Parabolica at 200mph [:-]. Yet another scarcely believable fact from the world of Peanut Brittle
