Description
TIME TRAAAAVEL, we are the 23th of april. YES. WE. ARE.I'm sorry, i'm so bored at work. I didn't start to do the things I have to do, because, you see, it's just so bOOOoooOOOooring.
Here's the one english people litteraly deify
William Shakespeare. And i don't know why, but every date of birth and death you can find are the same. Born on 23th of april 1564, dead on 23th of april 1616. It is weird but I hope it's true, because it's so funny to imagine Shakespeare dying while saying "Naaaaaay i cannot die today, i hast to die f'r mine birthday o//"haha.
Hum, i shall go to work.

It actually gets a bit weirder.
Shakespeare's England, due to anti-Catholicism, stuck to the Julian Calender until the middle eighteenth century, while the Roman Catholic countries switched over to the Gregorian Calendar in the late 16th Century. As a result, in Spain on April 23, 1616 (actually eleven days before William had breathed his last, but technically the same day), Senor Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra died too. As one writer put it, Shakespeare was Cervantes only peer as a writer (a point I question as Francis Bacon and Ben Jonson and Lope de Vega and Calderon were also writing at this time).

To celebrate or to mourn, that is the question…

Yes, I also prefer Macbeth, but my favorite is Richard III (not that I have read too much Shakespeare, mind you… and to my even greater shame, I barely remember Midsummer Night’s Dream – I do intend to remedy that soon though)
