Is George Wallace the comedian married?
What difference does it make???? He is one of the funniest men alive. Being named "Mr Las Vegas" was a long overdue tribute to his life and career. Being a fan (and having been lucky enough to have seen more than 100 performances) for over 30 yrs....I find this question totally out of order!!!! It references his personal life......which is NO BODYS BUSINESS!!!!!!.

What can you do with an associate's degree in pre-pharmacy?
You can continue on to a 4 year university where most credits will transfer with a grade of "C" or higher. You would most likely major in pre-pharmacy there, or another pre-med program, or perhaps chemistry, biology, or science-based program. After you finish the prerequisites to graduate with your B.S. or B.A., you may consider med school or grad school to further your education which I would assume would be in the medical field.

Why did Shakespeare write histories?
Shakespeare's Histories William Shakespeare wrote the Histories during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. She was a daughter of King Henry VIII, and grand daughter of King Henry VII. Henry VII had become King of England following his defeat of King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, bringing an end to the long and bloody civil war known as The Wars of the Roses. The History plays (except King John and Henry VIII) describe the events in English History which led up to this conflict, the conflict itself and its end in the play "Richard III" - they are all named after the monarchs who reigned from King Richard II in 1377 to Richard III who was killed in battle at Bosworth. Richard II was deposed by his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke who became King Henry IV - it could be said that it was this deposition which "sowed the seeds" for the Wars of the Roses. Many aspects of the plays can be seen as Tudor propoganda, supporting the relatively new Tudor dynasty - in particular Richard III is portrayed as an evil hunchback. Just as nowadays there is a market for books and movies about recent history, such as World War 2, The Vietnam War etc, so in Shakespeare's time there was a ready audience for these stories of what was then recent history.

What order did Shakespeare write his plays in?
There are a number of different opinions on this, so you cannot say "Shakespeare's eighth play was " whatever it says on this or another list with any kind of certainty. It is easier to categorize the plays into groups or periods. Thus we are pretty sure that the early plays (Titus Andronicus, the three parts of Henry VI, Love's Labour's Lost, The Comedy of Errors, The Taming of the Shrew and the Two Gentlemen of Verona) were written before the formation of the Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1594. Some would put Richard III into this category.
In the Early Middle Period, from approximately the formation of the King's Men to the building of the Globe theatre in 1599 we find such plays as Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, King John, the two parts of Henry IV, Henry V, Richard II, Much Ado About Nothing, The Merchant of Venice, and The Merry Wives of Windsor. As You Like It and Twelfth Night might fit here also, or in the next group.
The Late Middle Period, from the building of the Globe until the opening of the Blackfriars in 1608 includes the great tragedies Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, King Lear, and Coriolanus, as well as the darker or problem comedies Measure for Measure, All's Well that Ends Well, and Troilus and Cressida.
The Late Period, from the opening of the Blackfriars to Shakespeare's retirement is marked by many plays which appear to be collaborations (and one which is explicitly stated to be one) and are of uneven quality. Pericles, Timon of Athens, Henry VIII, Cymbeline, The Tempest, The Winter's Tale and the Two Noble Kinsmen fit in here, along with the lost play Cardenio.
You will find some scholars who state that Julius Caesar was really written before Twelfth Night, or that Coriolanus followed Timon. It could be; there is much dispute over the actual order. The groupings are generally considered to be accurate, however.
