Romeo and Juliet

Had reason to think about this story today. It is lovely, but sad. And a bit stupid I must say. Who in their right mind would like to kill themselves for a man? Or woman for that matter.

Nevertheless it is romantic and sweet. But somehow I doubt that my Zürich Romeo and Juliet friends will make it to the tomb (which is a good thing!). Only together for a short while and already having "problems". Mind you, I'm sure it has nothing to do with her being 19 and he 10 years older :).

For the serious people reading this blog I attach the link to the “real” R&J (if they ever existed!):
