rgrin Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 An amazingly funny perspective on history. 56 B.C. And All That Another thread reminded me of this "history" that I had read several years ago. If you haven't read it before, put down your drink and be ready to laugh hysterically. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to read it and understand...

It is chiefly noticeable in the autumn, when the apples are falling off the trees. I think the teacher must have read this and thought he was being punked...

kitten18 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 O.K., I found a couple favorites. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out: "Tee hee, Brutus." Tee hee. :lol: And Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper. :001_huh::lol: I have to stop now, I'm going to wake up DH.

Quiver0f10 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The greatest writer of the futile ages was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verses and also wrote literature. During this time, people put on morality plays about ghosts, goblins, virgins, and other mythical creatures. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 '"The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West." That, and "Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large" totally did me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
