Wreak Havoc And Let Slip The Badgers Of War

It's a well known fact that Shakespeare originally wrote "Wreak havoc and let slip the badgers of war." Of course, political climates being what they are, this was changed when badgers fell out of favour in the royal court when one of them ate the king's supper and mead.

Which is sad, I think badgers and Shakespeare just go hand-in-hand. So do they, just the other day the badgers in lab one were putting on a rendition of "the scottish play" (badgers also consider it to be bad luck to say Macbeth... probably because he was a well known badger hater and slaughtered at least thirty seven in one night when in a murderous rage).

In fact, in that play "When shall we three meet again." Was originally to be. "When shall we three kill badgers again." Coincedence? I think not.

Anyway, why they were doing the play is beyond me but they did it pretty well. Alhough badgers don't really act, they'll just do things. Murders in badger plays are all real. Which is sad, badgers are rather theatrical... it just happens that their theatrics result in massive casualties.
