[Dragaera] On a lighter note...

When SKZB was writing _Athyra_, he must have really had Hamlet on the
brain.  Mark Mandel has already catalogued two pseudo-quotes
(http://www.speakeasy.org/~mamandel/Cracks-and-Shards/jokes.html#Shakespeare).
 On my current read through, I caught a third:

On page 169, Fird says "Apples. Apple's the thing. Where with to-"  WHich
seems to me deliberately echoing of "...the play's the thing/ Wherein I'll
catch the conscience of the king."

I wonder if there are fourteen more such nuggets waiting to be found?
