Shakespeare's Shipwreck Trilogy and the Cultural Olympics!

The Cultural Olympics is so vast that it's very hard to keep track of what is going on. Doing some research today, I found this:










The Twelfth Night


Comedy of Errors


The Tempest


The Tempest just happens to be the message the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics and it is about "The final shipwreck."  Shakespeare's final play was a play about a shipwreck!

Curiosity, the Cat Box and the cat

"Curiosity killed the cat"  - William Shakespeare

Via NASA's released photos since 1976, the Mars "face" photographs "changed" from a recognizable face to a face that looks more than a "cat box" - as a matter of fact, the "face" has been known to scientists as "the Cat Box" ever since this photo was taken in 2001.

"Cat Box" aka "Face on Mars"

Odd then that the Mars rover launched yesterday is called "Curiosity;" seems to me they hope to find a "cat."  Who or what is the cat?   Are they looking for the "cat" in the wrong place?  Is the "cat" in London?

Recall that the lion/lion face would be in the feline category, ie. a cat.
