4/9/16 Baconian (n.)- one who loves bacon to an excess one who believes that Francis Bacon wrote the works usually attributed to Shakespeare

...Am I the only person who's never heard of this conspiracy before???

[Dudeman]

It's pretty famous among English/literature circles. I don't really recall why the conspiracy exists at all, but there's a significant amount of people who think that someone else wrote Shakespeare's plays. Not necessarily Sir Francis Bacon, but he's among the top candidates.

[MaestroUGC]

The main reason such theories exist is because people can't believe a commoner like Shakespeare could write those plays.

[E. Gadd Industries]

Haven't said people heard of prodigies?

[mikey]

but Shakespeare wrote his name differently on each of his plays!  Proof that they weren't written by the same person.

[E. Gadd Industries]

Still not buying it. XD Now who thinks the moon landings were fake?

[mikey]

I mean, come on.  You can see the stage lights reflected in their helmets.

[E. Gadd Industries]

XD That's plausible! Did you know the Sun is also a conspiracy? People (even the government!) tell us not to look at it!
4/10/16 Espiègle (adj.)- frolicsome, roguish
I may know a few people like this. Some of said people may frequent NSM.
