The best laid plans of mice and men go oft' awry.

My mother was an English teacher, born in England but raised in the US, and loved Beowulf. I learned this as:

The best laid plans of mice and men aft gang awry.

Just thought that might tickle you.

Yep, it did. I've seen it that way before.
When I was in college about a million years ago, we had to read Beowulf in the original old English. We all had to look up practically EVERY word for translation. Who'd've thunk that was ever ENGLISH. We worked at it so hard trying to remeber the translations for (I cannot imagine how many words) because the #$%^&&^%$ professor dropped hints that the exam would be in old English. Yeah, you're right; the test was all in contemporary English.

Did you see the movie Beowulf? Did you sit there asking yourself why they called it Beowulf? It barely had the essence of the actual story. Angeline Jolie (spelling?) for the mother of Grendel... SAY WHAT?
I seriously considered asking for my money back.

Angeline Jolie? No way. No I did not see the movie. Not much on movies anyway.

A good bit of reading and study. It also helps that I have a library of out of date and older poultry books that fills a shelf.
