Shakespeare on Cracked.com? I Don't Believe It

http://www.cracked.com/article_15859_10-words-phrases-you-wont-believe-shakespeare-invented.html

It's true.  Take your typical "List of words Shakespeare invented" and add lots of Cracked.com's famous ... shall we say, "creative" language ... and you've got their latest story.  Here we'll learn the details on the etymology of eyeball, puking, skim milk, obscene, hot-blooded, afoot, epileptic, wormhole, alligator and others.

Somehow I can't help thinking that someday, someone is going to land on that page who Googled for exactly those words, all at once, and left the Cracked operations team with a giant "WTF?" to last them for the rest of their lives.

NSFW Warning, if it wasn't obvious from the first paragraph, the language is not even close to safe for work, and some of the pictures are a bit borderline as well.
