oh probably..... but i remember doing a statistical case study about one peice of work they were trying to find out if it was shakespeare's i dont remember the result but it could be resaoned that since each author has a unique style we can assume that using some math we could find out if the works were written by one guy or many... but on another note the pices could have been rewritten by one guy from other works of art.
well its psooible isnt it??Quote:

There was a theory that it was Ben Jonson (the zombie)
I remember reading something about that too. I.e., Shakespeare was actually Ben Johnson. Maybe an alterego? Or he suffered from MPD?
I get a big bang out of Shakespeare but I don't really enjoy reading him/her/them/??? as much as hearing/watching a performance - however actors are such lovies (swanky), or is Catcher getting to me?
Sorry I can't remember much more about it - but I wasn't totally convinced. I think there was some stuff (guff) about a computer analysing the occurence of words in their works. I think that the problem with these things is that people are often too keen to prove their hypothesis (scrawny faggy b*rstards)
Well people will look for evidence that supports their theory and allows them to gain face... no one intentionally goes out looking to make a fool of themselves.
Agreed, pole, take me with a large pinch of salt today (aaah)
I love reading Shakespeare but I have to admit that I have not been lucky enough to watch a real performance (only once actually, and in another language as well). I enjoyed watching most of the movies I watched but I do know that I understand and appreciate them better if I read :rolleyes:Quote:
