From Hamlet , when Hamlet is speaking to Ophelia 'Get thee to a nunnery...'

Me thinks its Act III, scene 1.
Okay, my bad all I had was the Farmers Almanac,

Bonus point: What was the first writer/publisher of the Farmer's Almanac?

I'm NOT THAT OLD! But my first guess would be, if my highschool history holds good, Ben Franklin?

According the Google "The old Farmers Almanac" was published by Robert B. Thomas, while Ben Franklin's Almanac was by Ben? How? I think both of us were thinking about Ben's yeah?

I read the Ben Franklin biography earlier this year, and he is definitely creditied for the Farmers Almanac we all know and love. He also used many pseudonyms throughout his life.

if you find nuns in a nunnery, fishes in a fishery, and wines in a winery,

why don't you find galls in a gallery, flowers in a flowery or butts in a buttery?

are there stations in stationery, slippers in slippery, or hoses in hosiery?

oh well, i shall put you out of misery and end this foolery!
