Ok, I admit it. I wrote them all. Where’s my royalties?

et tu Brutus?

How would the volume of work produced by Winston Churchill compare to the Bible?

Beautiful work it is. And obviously Churchill.

Which explains the “pound of flesh”.

It was Shakespeare who took all the criticism of his work through the years. It was to Shakespeare that Ben Jonson wrote his ode for publication in Heminges’ and Condell’s First Folio edition.

I’ll take the word of those who knew and worked with him over these groups of elitists who would seek to steal his work.

[Timocrat]

Rubbish. Why did Ben Jonson, a contemporary of Shakespeare and fellow playwright, esteem him so highly. Shakespeare played in one or two of Jonsons plays so the two knew each other well. The likelyhood that Jonson would have been fooled into believing that plays supposedly written by another were being claimed by Shakespeare is remote in the extreme.

She may well have been Shakespeares mistress at one time ( See Sonnet 128) but the overwhelming contemporaneous evidence is that the man from Stratford wrote the plays.

[Fightin Whitey]

Be damned. I thought Neil Kinnock wrote ‘em.

[Liberty Valance]

Much ado about nothing

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Is it not possible that Shakespeare was an acquaintance of the man you mention and was able to pick his brain for a lot of information and ideas?

I don't see why not, since they were contemporaries.

I concur, Willie the Shake did NOT write those plays but his roomful of monkeys with typewriters had a knack for randomly banging on some wonderful keystrokes!

Thanks Renfield!

As TV's Dr. Sheldon Cooper would say, this is axiomatically wrong, because William Shakespeare was the author of Shakespeare's plays. His authorship was undisputed until a nutjob in the 19th century (last name Bacon) cooked this up for the very first time. In Shakespeare's own time, Robert Greene penned a snarky reference about Shakespeare (Shakespeare had just hit it big with one of the Henry VI plays; not a big seat-filler today, one of the three parts of the HVI serial outsold all other contemporary plays combined), and rival and friend Ben Jonson contributed a dedicatory poem to the First Folio which refers to WS by name and calls him "sweet swan of Avon".

This one is interesting, because Amelia Bassano Lanier is generally regarded as the real figure behind Shakespeare's "Dark Lady".

I used to listen to Art Bell and was frequently amused by his tendency to entertain rather esoteric explanations for simple phenomena. In his honor I came up with Bell’s Sponge, which is defined as the exact opposite of Occam’s razor.

Wasn’t Shakespeare a Catholic, ping?
