Rebellion at its finest

So, Portia and I decided to do the cooliest thing.  Last year we made up a conspiracy theory. Here it is:
"While originally attributed to William Shakespeare, the infamous Romeo and Juliet was recently discovered to be the work of Edgar Allen Poe.  Recent tests conclude that Poe wrote the play, soaked it in tea and burnt the edges before placing the script at Shakespeare's home in Stratford Upon Avon."
So, of course, we changed the Wikipedia page accordingly.

Unfortunately it was changed back to its original form about a minute later.  Luckily I got the screenshots before it got taken down.  Then we decided to try changing a lesser-known play of his to see how long it would take for them to change that one.  Again, only a few minutes before they took it down, but it's still hilarious.









I sent the pictures to my Theatre professor, and her reply made all of it totally worth it.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
