History of the World

[subbss]

I first saw this many many years ago and every time I read it I laugh just as hard. It is still very funny. Very sad too if people at college level actually wrote this.

History of the World

The more you know about history the funnier this is. I had to read it several times to get all the jokes becasue some of them you wouldn't get unless you were familiar with real history. In other words, if you don't think it is funny and think this is a good representation of history then you either need to read it again more carefully or you must have failed your history class at school!

OK, I admit some of the funny parts are not related to history at all and you might get the joke and not think it is funny anyways so no offence anyone.

Well if you haven't read it you will have several other opportunities to. I posted this at GCF forums and at XGF fora too. Read it, it is very funny. It's not that long....

This is absolutely hilarious. Some real comedic gems in there.

Link doesn't seem to work.

Occasionally the server goes down but it only lasts a few minutes or an hour or so. Try the link again and it should work.

Still funny though

I told you it was a good idea to read it! Wasn't I right? It is funny every time I read it.

...
The First World War, cause by the assignation of the Arch-Duck by a surf, ushered in a new error in the anals of human history..







I love examples like these! The only sad thing about them is that every time I see them posted somewhere I ask myself, "Why did I have to go to the boring schools when I could have learned These 'facts' instead!?"

downright hillarious, im glad people dont proofread their writings

 

[~Corsair#01~]

Obviously not really wrote by students, but still brilliant. Seen it ages ago, though, and several times since. I love the "Finally, the Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense", and "The government of England was a limited mockery". Also, "Milton wrote "Paradise Lost." Then his wife dies and he wrote "Paradise Regained."", and "When Elizabeth exposed herself before her troops, they all shouted "hurrah".
Pure brilliance.

Funny as ever the history teacher who evaluated this must have had a hard time keeping from falling of the chair.
