Shakespeare and Halo

Others have noted the multiple Macbeth quotes by Adjutant Reflex, and this has loosed a thought of mine over on the Unfiction forums I thought I'd share here too.
Shakespeare wrote his plays in iambic pentameter; it's non-rhyming poetry made from pairs of five-syllable clauses per line.
Gravemind speaks in iambic heptameter; it's non-rhyming poetry made from pairs of seven-syllable clauses per line.
Dunno about how relevant this will be (hence my parking this in "speculation") but it does hint at some interesting possibilities.
-- Steve hasn't felt any pricking of his thumbs yet, but will definitely pay attention if he does.
