Those of you who track applications of R may be interested in the following:

"The purpose of this paper is then to apply modern
text analysis techniques using the R statistical packege [sic]
to compare the works attributed to Shakespeare

I await the creative use of R to solve other vexing problems in the dramatic and performing arts such as the "Third Stooge Problem" and whether there is any naughtiness in the Britney Spears song title, "If You Seek Amy."
