This was the teaser: " Assuming this all works out, the image in this tweet is also a valid ZIP archive, containing a multipart RAR archive, containing the complete works of Shakespeare." It did work out, as the comments to this Twitter thread make clear. And this raises the interesting question of what else might be hiding in images across the web. And it suggests a new version of the old saying: "A picture is worth a thousand scenes." You have to use 7zip; regular Windows zip won't work. But it does work; I tested it. Use the image here.
