Question to Radio Yerevan: Is it true that Brutus is an honourable man?

Not many people know that in the first draft of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony's funeral oration was couched in the form of an extended Radio Yerevan joke (before Shakespeare's financial backers convinced him to edit that section of the script into a format more familiar to the Globe regulars). "People who are unaware of this fact" include potential buyers of that first draft -- now in Riddled possession -- and they are swift to voice unbecoming doubts as to its authenticity.

This is Reason #118 why Another Kiwi is no longer trusted with unescorted use of the Riddled time machine.

Whoa, I thought it ended with an 80 page Randian screed about moochers and looters.
