His Wordiness worthy of celebration
William Shakespeare, perhaps the bane of every student on the planet who isn't into literature, was born April 23, 1564.
Worldwide, fans of his mammoth contributions to literature and the theater will celebrate his birthday Thursday, April 23.
Although a Google search for The Bard's name brings up more than 15 million sites, one of the most definitive (and interesting) is william-shakespeare.org.uk. Besides being able to absorb the historical facts available there, don't miss the Shakespearean Insults Generator at the site, just for fun, thou withered clapper-clawed ratsbane!
