* The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He
was born in the 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much
money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies,
comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and
Juliet are an example of a heroic couple.

* Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He
wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton
wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise
Regained.

* Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented
Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were to 2
singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered
electricity by rubbing two cats backward and declared, "a horse
divided against itself can not stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is
still dead.
* Abraham Lincoln was America's greatest precedent. Lincoln's mother
died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with
his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the
Emasculation Proclamation . On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln
went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in
the moving picture show. They believe the assinator was John Wilkes
Booth, a suposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.

* Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large
number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which
he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was
the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was
half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large.

* Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he
wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone
was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died from
this.
