What's in a erroneous comedy of history??
Okay. Here's my post okay Cornelius!!!! He, being the ever crazy junior, must nag at me every 5 secs to update more often. (: I was just about to update la!!! But he beat me to it. *sighs*
Anyway. Today....GP was an absolute HOOT. Mr Tong gave us this article about the errors that American students make in history essays la...some of them you need to know the history behind it before you can understand, but I'll just put the easiest to understand here...(SEE?! I try to dumb it down for you lesser mortals okay!! Such consideration has never been seen since the times of Qin Shi Huang. Hahaha.)
So...here goes. Prepare your lungs for a vigorous bout of activity.
1. "Moses led them to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the Ten Commandments."
(OMG. What was the person thinking?!?!?!?! Bread without any ingredients indeed.)
2. "A myth is a female moth."
(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!)
3. "Actually, Homer was not written by Homer, but by another man of that name."
(Who is HOMER la, dinkus.)
4. "In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits and threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath."
(OMG. *gasps with fits of laughter* The discus and javelin had such humble beginnings!!! I never knew!!! Hahahahahah...imagine. The prestigious gold medal as a coral wreath. WHOOOO!)
5. "When they fought with the Persians, the Greeks were outnumbered because the Persians had more men."
(Hey. Talk about being lor soh. Repeating yourself to make up the word count. Tsk tsk.)
6. "Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head."
(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! OMG. The things people will say. He stand on his son's head for what?!)
7. "He [Abraham Lincoln] said, "In onion there is strength.""
(HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH.....)
8. "Another important invention was the circulation of blood."
(I've run out of adjectives to describe my laughter. Whatever la. It's hilarious. )
9. The Marseillaise was the theme song of the French Revolution, and it catapulted into Napoleon."
(LOL. So powerful!!)
And the BEST one.
10. "The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West."
(-.-" OMG. What kind of noob is the miscreant author of this sentence?!"
