    Alas, poor Yorick . . . .

    Hamlet sighed five times a minute.  Fact.

    E=mc/T

    E - # of excessive sighs
    m - minutes character of Hamlet is on stage
    c - # of caesuras inserted in the dialog by Shakespeare
    T - total time of the play in minutes

    I figure we must be outrageously fortunate to do so - unless, perchance we sleep when the opportunity arises.
