Things William Shakespeare never knew about

Alas, poor Shakespeare!
  • Trains
  • Cell phones
  • Pizza (?? Not sure on that one, but I know for a fact he never had 'modern' pizza - in a box.)
  • The Simpsons
  • Game shows
  • Swiffer Wet Jet
  • Parking lots
  • Shopping carts
  • Riding shopping carts in parking lots (so. much. fun.)
  • Recreational vehicles
  • United States Presidents
  • World War [insert number here]
  • plastic
  • genetic manipulation
  • The Beatles
  • google
  • Harry Houdini
  • Stephanie
How can you be the greatest writer of all time, and yet none of your characters have ever heard "Let It Be"? Then again, people are still reading his work 400 years after his death, so he must've done something right.

What do you think would be Shakespeare's favorite thing if he could spend a week here?

For some reason I just got a flash of Shakespeare playing Mario Kart.

Fruit Roll Ups.

Oh, and I suspect he'd be into Lost big time.

What are you talking about? He writes The Simpsons.
