Will Donkey has said that he could not speak until he was 11 and could not read or write until the age of 25.  He was the oldest and longest attending student at Carver High School (25 years old, attending for 20 years).  Will Donkey has bragged that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days, the last 9 marathons on 2 broken legs.  Donkey has stated that he raised $5 million for charity through his appearances with the Shitholeville No-Stars.  Will Donkey claims authorship of a book that does not exist, and his “poems” are heavily plagiarized. In his bio, Will Donkey writes that he walked/ran the roundtrip from Columbus, GA to Atlanta (214 miles) daily to work at a mill.  We have found no independent corroboration of any of these Donkey tales.
