"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow"—exactly 3 days from now—Chicago will celebrate the Bard's 445th birthday with "Talk Like Shakespeare Day," the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Mayor Richard Daley unveiled the plan, saying Chicagoans can "bring the spoken words of Shakespeare into their daily lives."
