Has anyone ever attempted to grave rob William?

16th century “heare” has 2 syllables!

There was a fascinating documentary on tv recently about Billy Waggledagger as my old English teacher called him. His entire burial site is most odd.

It takes Joey Chestnut 10 minutes to consume a fraction of that amount. (74 hot dogs = 22,200 calories = 4.44 percent of 500,000 calories.)

An average bar of chocolade contains about 500 kcal = 500,000 calories. So I can do that, too. But probably, Ripley speaks, as most people do, falsely about calories when talking in fact about kilocalories.

I have seen teenagers swallow about that many calories in a single mouthful at local fast food restaurants. The difference being that the krill and plankton that the blue whale consumes are nutritious.

People can do that, too.

Blue whales are rookies. I can do that at any Wendy’s!

We’ve all got to earn ourselves a living, all it takes is a little bit of digging.

Anyone written a horror story about someone moving Shakespeare’s bones?

What about Gravy Robbers????

And you should see them after Happy Hour…

Technically humans can drink from both ends, too.

It’s the number of profanities you never expect to find there. But they exist….

It does seem, from forensic scans of the grave, that Shakespeare’s head is missing. There was a great documentary about this : https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2016/mar/23/shakespeare-stolen-skull-grave-robbing-tale-true

The only thing missing from Shake’s epitaph is the tag line, “Burma Shave!”

That curse by Shakespeare had to do with old dug up graves, that were not treated as sacred. We see an example in “Hamlet” where court jester Yorick’s grave was dug up as Hamlet and Horatio visited the graveyard.
