(Hey, I thought you didn't care when Shakespeare died,
since he wasn't the real Shakespeare anyway?)
I care about the authorship question and all the legends that surround it.
Shakespeare & Cervantes both lack the modern scientific evidence we have for Santa:

Why would any government lie about this sort of thing
