Shakespeare's epitaph in part reads that a person who moved his bones would be cursed. The irony is that when his grave was opened, it was found to be empty. It isn't known if someone has moved the bones or natural factors were responsible.

∙ 13y agoWe don't know Shakespeare's birthday for sure, although we know that he was christened on April 26, 1564. That means he might have been born on April 23, which would have been interesting, first because it is St. George's day, and he is the patron saint of England, and second because it is the day on which Shakespeare died.

∙ 12y agoSome people think he died on the same day he was born, April 23. But actually we only know that he was baptised on April 26, and guess that he might have been born on April 23. He could have been born on the 22nd or 24th but people chose to believe it was the 23rd because a) it is the feast day of St. George, patron saint of England and b) it would mean that he died on the same day he was born.
All of which means that it is not ironic at all. Shakespeare's birthday was chosen because it's the same day he died.
