shakespeare and cervantes died on the same date but not on the same day. how is that possible?
Shakespeare's died April 23, 1616 (England's calendar)
Cervantes died on April 23, 1616 (Spain's calendar)
Spain and England used different calendars that are 10 days off
that's correct.....england used the julian calendar and spain used the gregorian calendar....well that riddle didnt last long
