Recent evidence suggests that the Bard's pet monkey was the prolific author of the plays and sonnets normally attributed to William Shakespeare. While the playwright was out drinking at the tavern, the simian would climb down from its home in a high bookshelf and correct the many mistakes made in the manuscripts, frequently adding several completely original chapters of its own. Indeed in some works it is hard to distinguish between the two authors, the best clue we have are by examining crossings-out on the original manuscripts (monkey was apparently left-footed), notes in the margin (monkey left criticisms such as "This will not play well, Bill, consider rewriting - an ape could do better, in fact one has thus") and the many banana smears (Shakespeare is known to have been allergic to the fruit.)
Although a quill pen was used for the majority of the writing, the monkey apparently owned its own crude typewriter, which it built by itself, based on a design it came across in a book my Leonardo Da Vinci - the artist and inventor who some scholars believe was an unusually talented orang utang.
