After everybody has a chance to give their answer, I'll explain why I asked this. Without looking it up, do you know who wrote 'double double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble'?

????

this a trick question?

Without looking it up, as far as I know it's a line from Macbeth. The three witches. So technically I need to say William Shakespeare?

I am not looking it up because it sounds like a song from a Harry Potter Movie I saw. Is it a song called something wicked this way comes??

I am answering the same as alan smithee. It is from Macbeth, the 3 witches, by William Shakespeare. Don't have to look it up.

I know it's from Macbeth and I also remember it from a nursey rhyme or nursey poem or something like that. I couldn't tell you the name of it though.

Okay, I guess everybody who's going to respond to this has had plenty of time to put in their answers.


Okay, here's why I brought this up. There was a call-in trivia content on the radio today, and this was the question, and I right away said 'William Shakespeare', which of course is the correct answer, from MacBeth, did NOT get in...the person who DID get in got an answer so wrong I could NOT believe it, they said DR. SEUSS! I can't believe it.

i cant believe i thought this....

LOL, you think that's bad? Check out "Jaywalking" (Jay Leno) on YouTube. Funny but oh so frightening.

OMG, when we used to watch Jay, we loved when he did that segment. Some of it was frightening on how stupid the people were.

Well I was half right, it was a song from Harry Potter:

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble
Something wicked this way comes
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Something wicked this way comes!

Okay - I thought for sure this must have been a trick question, because the answer was so obvious to me but then you posted where you were going. Wonder what kind of Dr Suess that person was reading - lol! Poor Will Shakespeare.
