Shakespeare!!!


Happy 445th birthday to William Shakespeare!!! Now I don't feel quite so old. By the way, he also died on this day. Of course he wrote some good plays & poems, but did you know that he was also the first person to use the word "eyeball"? And "zany"? He also coined about 1700 other words! Much love and respect to him.

Favorite Shakespeare metaphor:
"the beast with two backs"

Yes! It reminds me of the Renaissance Faire for some reason.
