Question

Is it true that Shakespeare was born on his birthday? It would be quite a coincidence if it were true. ?

Answer 1

Don't you know that shakespeare is not  born yet. if you have a right question  than shakespeare is preparing to born...

Answer 2

Almost as big a coincidence as if he grew older every year. I can't imagine how that could possibly be true...*sarcasm*

Answer 3

You're never gonna believe this... I was born on my birthday too!!  :)

Answer 4

Most people are born on their birthday. If you mean did he die on his birthday, yes that's true.

Answer 5

I think that it's a safe assumption, yes.

Answer 6

I think you mean "died on his birthday." The records indicate that he died right around his birthday, but it may not have been the exact day. The Elizabethans were a little more lax about timekeeping and accuracy of records than we are today.

Answer 7

He was almost born on his birthday, but when he poked his head out of the womb he saw his own shadow and crawled back inside for six more weeks.

Or at least that's what my mom always told me.

Answer 8

Not only that, he died on the same day as his death!!!  <--definitely a coincidence IMO.

Answer 9

As miraculous as it sounds, Shakespeare probably was born on his birthday.

Answer 10

Well, that's certainly the rumor, although not TOO much is known about him, even though he's the most famous writer in the world. Ironic, huh?  

Answer 11

Every one is born on there birthday... Your birthday is the day you were born. But if you mean he died on his birthday, then yeah i heard that too and i think it is true, but who really knows.

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

of course he was born on his birthday.

no one knows his exact birthdate, but he was baptised on april 26th and died on april 23rd, so he very well could have died on his birthday as well.

Answer 14

No I think he was like Jesus in that he was born three to four months later than we actually celebrate but was assigned a particular day because there was a break in the calendar.

I'm joking of course, he like everyone else was born on his birthday.

Answer 15

ha ha ha he he he of course

Answer 16

1 in 365 chance of that happening...

Answer 17
