- Anne Hathaway was 26 and William was 18 when he married her. (I guess he went for the cougars.)
- He invented the word "assasination."
- He only specifically mentioned his wife in his will to leave her the "second best bed." (Yes, she wasn't even good enough for the best bed.)

- The Bard coined the phrase, "the beast with two backs" meaning intercourse in his play Othello.
- He died at age 52, in 1616.
- Shakespeare wrote 37 plays, composed 157 sonnets, and acted. (That's one very talented dude.)
