My definition of a science-fiction fan as a person who would jump up at the line "Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world" and earnestly inform Lear, "The world isn't round, it's an oblate spheroid," has been amply confirmed over the past few days.

Now I wonder at the circumstances of the outburst.

And of course, in defense of the Bard, snipe back by saying "Cannot you let 'thick rotundity' suffice for 'oblate spheroid'? 'Twould serve the speach far better."
