In case you cared, Shakespeare's deathday/birthday was a few days ago. Some people seem to think he was killed by a giant grasshopper. We call these people the Anti-Stratfordian's, 'Stratfordian' here meaning: common sense, logic, any knowledge of Shakespeare not gained from Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet. While no one REALLY knows how he died, there is this old tale: "Shakespeare, Drayton, and Ben Jonson had a merry meeting and it seems drank too hard, for Shakespeare died of a fever there contracted." While it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, it certainly seems grasshopper free. Interesting side note: Andy Hicks Flogging Day is coming up soon.
