He was a horse.

In the future this what will be taught in all schools around the world. Even posting it as a joke is bad.

Was tupac a real person?

In case this isn't bait: the scholarly concensus is that William Shakespeare was indeed a real person who wrote the plays attributed to him. Claims that Shakespeare didn't exist, or he took credit for someone else's work, or he was really Christopher Marlowe, are generally regarded as fringe theories.

Was "Many Pens" one person? Is that your question?
Andrew Harris
>Christopher Marlowe
One of the low points in the history of congress was when a sitting US representative on the HUAC asked if Marlowe was a communist.

Liberal democracy was a mistake.

But we didn't even get to that time when a congressman asked an admiral if the large number of US troops on Guam would cause the island to tip over and capsize!
Ryder Jenkins
Anti-Stratfordians have about the same amount of credibility in the literature faculties of the world as flat-Earthers do in the scientific community
Caleb James
I've been under the assumption that Shakespeare was not an actual person, but rather a small literary group who wrote under the pen name Shakespeare.
Connor Morales
Marlowe wrote Shakespeare
Thomas Nguyen
>8,000 marines and their families
>Large numbers.
And, to be fair, Admiral Willard had this "You cannot possibly be that stupid" expression on his face when he grasped what Representative Johnson was getting at.

>"He certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees"
- Bart Ehrman
>"There are those who argue that Jesus is a figment of the Church’s imagination, that there never was a Jesus at all. I have to say that I do not know any respectable critical scholar who says that any more.
- Michael Grant
>"In recent years, 'no serious scholar has ventured to postulate the non historicity of Jesus' or at any rate very few, and they have not succeeded in disposing of the much stronger, indeed very abundant, evidence to the contrary.
- Richard Burridge
Josiah Clark
your assumption is false though, this meme started because elitist snobs didn't want to believe Shakespeare existed because he wasn't some noble or great identity
Jordan Williams
>Was William Shakespeare a real person?
Yes, SHE was a black woman.
Jose Parker
>William Shakespeare
More like Willm Shakspr or whatever retarded spelling he used. Never William Shakespeare. So, in answer to your question, no.
Angel Williams
Actual historians hate this theory as William Shakespeare is the Elizabethan playwright we know the MOST about.
And they all mean William Shakespeare, no matter the nonstandardised spelling.
Jose Morris
Yes he was a black-Irish-muslim-communist lady of the earl of Somerset's court. FUN FACT: His real name was Francis Bacon.
Juan Phillips
you're wrong though
