A History of the World

The following essay was pieced together from submissions by English and History teachers collected throughout the United States. These are genuine “bloopers” made by students, from eighth grade through college level.
Read carefully, and you will learn a lot.

Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of fire by night. The Jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with the unsympathetic Genitals.

The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cul- tivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain.

The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked "Am I my brother's son?" God asked Abraham to sacrifice Issac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Issac, stole his brother's birthmark. Jacob was a partiarch who brought up his twelve sons to be partiarchs, but they did not take to it. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites.

Pharaoh forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. 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. The seventh commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery. Moses died before he ever reached Canada. Then Joshua led the Hebrews in the battle of Geritol. The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.

David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fought with the Finklesteins, a race of people who lived in Biblical times.Then he fougth with the Philatelists, a race of people who lived in Biblical times. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines. Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate contraption. St. Paul cavorted to Christianity. He preached holy acrimony, which is another name for marriage. Christians have only one spouse. This is called monotony.

Without the Greeks, we wouldn't have history. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns - Corinthian, Doric and Ironic. They also had myths. A myth is a female moth. One myth says that the mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Stynx until he became intolerable. Achilles appears in "The Illiad", by Homer. Homer also wrote the "Oddity", in which Penelope was the last hardship that Ulysses endured on his journey. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.

Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock.

In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. The government of Athen was democratic because the people took the law into their own hands. There were no wars in Greece, as the mountains were so high that they couldn't climb over to see what their neighbors were doing. When they fought the Parisians, the Greeks were outnumbered because the Persians had more men.

Eventually, the Ramons conquered the Geeks. History call people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long. At Roman banquets, the guests wore garlic in their hair. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March killed him because they thought he was going to be made king. Nero was a cruel tyrany who would torture his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them.

Then came the Middle Ages. King Alfred conquered the Dames, King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery, King Harlod mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings, Joan of Arc was cannonized by George Bernard Shaw, and the victims of the Black Death grew boobs on their necks. Finally, the Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense.

In midevil times most of the people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the time was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verse and also wrote literature. Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.

The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. It was the painter Donatello's interest in the female nude that made him the father of the Renaissance. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper.

The government of England was a limited mockery. Henry VIII found walking difficult because he had an abbess on his knee. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When Elizabeth exposed herself before her troops, they all shouted "hurrah." Then her navy went out and defeated the Spanish Armadillo.

The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespear. Shakespear never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He lived in Windsor with his merry wives, writing tragedies, comedies and errors. In one of Shakespear's famous plays, Hamlet rations out his situation by relieving himself in a long soliloquy. In another, Lady Macbeth tries to convince Mac beth to kill the King by attacking his manhood. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Writing at the same time as Shakespear was Miquel Cervantes. He wrote "Donkey Hote". The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost." Then his wife dies and he wrote "Paradise Regained."

During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe. Later the Pilgrims crossed the Ocean, and the was called the Pilgrim's Progress. When they landed at Plymouth Rock, they were greeted by Indians, who came down the hill rolling their was hoops before them. The Indian squabs carried porposies on their back. Many of the Indian heroes were killed, along with their cabooses, which proved very fatal to them. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died and many babies were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for all this.

One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the English put tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their pacels through the post without stamps. During the War, Red Coats and Paul Revere was throwing balls over stone walls. The dogs were barking and the peacocks crowing. Finally, the colonists won the War and no longer had to pay for taxis.

Delegates from the original thirteen states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin had gone to Boston carrying all his clothes in his pocket and a loaf of bread under each arm. He invented electricity by rubbing cats backwards and declared "a horse divided against itself cannot stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.

George Washington married Matha Curtis and in due time became the Father of Our Country. Them the Constitution of the United States was adopted to secure domestic hostility. Under the Constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms.

Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. When Lincoln was President, he wore only a tall silk hat. He said, "In onion there is strength." Abraham Lincoln write the Gettysburg address while traveling from Washington to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope. He also signed the Emasculation Proclamation, and the Fourteenth Amendment gave the ex-Negroes citizenship. But the Clue Clux Clan would torcher and lynch the ex-Negroes and other innocent victims. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. The believed assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposedl insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.

Meanwhile in Europe, the enlightenment was a reasonable time. Voltare invented electricity and also wrote a book called "Candy". Gravity was invented by Issac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the Autumn, when the apples are flaling off the trees.

Bach was the most famous composer in the world, and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian and half English. He was very large. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.

France was in a very serious state. The French Revolution was accomplished before it happened. The Marseillaise was the theme song of the French Revolution, and it catapulted into Napoleon. During the Napoleonic Wars, the crowned heads of Europe were trembling in their shoes. Then the Spanish gorrilas came down from the hills and nipped at Napoleon's flanks. Napoleon became ill with bladder problems and was very tense and unrestrained. He wanted an heir to inheret his power, but since Josephine was a baroness, she couldn't bear him any children.

The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West. Queen Victoria was the longest queen. She sat on a thorn for 63 years. He reclining years and finally the end of her life were exemplatory of a great personality. Her death was the final event which ended her reign.

The nineteenth century was a time of many great inventions and thoughts. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick Raper, which did the work of a hundred men. Samuel Morse invented a code for telepathy. Louis Pastuer discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturailst who wrote the "Organ of the Species". Madman Curie discovered radium. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers.

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.

Hi ILWL

It's from one of my favorite bead-websites. The King of Vintage Glass -- head of the Royal Court of Portly Gentlemen -- is one of the funniest men on the planet..... http://www.jewelex.com/mytable.html

Wish I could go to this party!!
"At Roman banquets, the guests wore garlic in their hair."

And King David fighting with the Finklesteins and the Philatelists left me helplessly collapsed, tears running down my cheeks, residual giggles popping up every few minutes....

"One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the English put tacks in their tea." And all this time I thought they were the tea connoiseurs of the world!! No wonder we held the Boston Tea Party and dumped it in the harbor!!

And you just can't beat logic like this:
"The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West."

Zala you amaze me!! how do u still remember??? Yes i guess it cud be my Leo NN...i had never thought abt it tht way...i mean never connected it to astrology

You know, an amazing thing is happening these days...i can 'feel' the energy of a person....astrologically speaking. initially i thought tht it was 'hindsight', ie, i had seen their chart, hence was trying to 'find' those traits in them. but today i am convinced.

i was chatting to a person. i had seen his chart long time back. (this was another of those 'online matrimony' contacts). i had long ago decided that we were not compatible (and told him tht i wasnt interested) chiefly bcoz i got freaked out. this guy was presuming things about me right and left. and seemed to be in love with the idea of 'falling in love'. it was as if he had decided tht i fit his mental image of soulmate or whtever, and wasn't even trying to see me for who i actually was. so i asked him for his birthdata, and wht do i see there, but a neptune in 7th, opposed to moon and venus in 12th and 1st respectively. i didnt even notice the rest of the chart, he freaked me out so completely

but he continues to buzz me on messenger every now and then...and out of politeness i talk to him. but he rubs me the wrong way EVERY SINGLE TIME. and it has to do with him trying to fit me into stereotypes. my mars/merc in aqua just wont have it. but today i was literally fuming. and i was like, this guy must have his mars opposed to mine. or at least square. and probably sun square my mars too. and then i checked his chart....and he has both!!! (and more....)

my mars- aqua 13 degree
his sun- taurus 18 degree
his mars - leo 11 degree
his uranus- scorpio 14 degree

my poor mars was squished in a grand cross...no wonder i felt 'boxed in'. i was literally ready to smash his face today if he had been in front of me. and i am usually quite calm :-(

Not only that, this person has a fire grand trine, with merc in Aries. i suspect tht he is really short tempered. i usually dont lose my cool with ppl unless i sense tht they r really angry (and r just trying to veil it with politeness). i pick up ppl's moods and react accordingly, and its totally subconscious....!!

And tht brings up another interesting point...remember u had told me tht moon is my chart ruler, and hv i noticed any connection between the moon and my moods....hell yes!! I have!!! after u mentioned it....i started noticing how i get depressed over really small things during certain periods....and hv been doing it for two months....i am invariably moody and 'low' and very receptive to negative feelings whn the moon is waning....i want to cry just to let those overwhelming feelings out...almost every single day....i have to listen to sad songs and make myself cry....things reach their head just 1-2 days before the new moon. (tht's whn u post about the new moon and i ask on the forum if thr's someone else who is as low as me...its that bad...and completely irrational...) it doesnt hv to do with the sign tht the moon is in i think...just its phase. or may be its PMS....but heck, aren't moon's phases also supposed to control periods !!

ILWL~

Zala, awesome resource as always!
I love your jewellery!
I was supposed to take a silversmithing class, but my mom pointed out that the fumes might prevent me from taking it as of now.. but see the whole point was that I could do it while I was not doing anything else. Learn a trade, enjoy working with my hands.
Oh well.

I am currently working on a Mucha inspired mural for my bedroom wall. I figure the midwives are coming for a home birth, and they'll be here for a home visit in two weeks or so.... so I wanted it done by then.
The last two days have found me covered in paint, immersed in texture.
*awwwww* How I have missed inspiration!

he has merc in aries 21 degree....:-O
which squares my sun and pluto...i am floored.....and a very pleasant saturn sq uranus (my uranus, btw).

those people who say that a 'perfect match' is not possible....here's a perfect 'mismatch' which shud have been just as statistically rare....i mean just how much worse cud it be???

*rubs her hands in delight* that means the love of my life is just waiting for me out there....i just have to wade through these thick-headed weirdo's first to find him ;-D

Wading through the thick headed ones requires nice strong boots!I have faith in you.

I agree, Zala is just so fabulous I can't describe it.
I am so honoured to know her.

I am due in about six weeks. Officially March 8th, though I have consistently been measuring a week bigger. My son came two weeks early, my daughter was right on time.... so I am hoping he comes on the Full Moon which is March 3rd.
Or the week before.. I'm good with that. ( I'm bargaining here!!)
Yes my friend was going to show me how to make soap!!! But she was concerned with some of the ingredients...
I just figured silversmithing is an actual trade, and I could learn it and create my own designs ( one of my secret passions) and it would allow me to work from home and spend time with my babushkas after my Mat leave was over.

Can you tell I'm having a hard time sleeping lately?
Between baby feet in my ribs and heartburn, I can be super tired, but not sleep.
*sigh*

I will post a pic of my mural when I am done. It's a large scale painting on the wall.

Hi pix...yes i did notice some of your other posts too a few days back....must be hard....

another set of queries i have...a little frivolous...but just our of curiosity....did you ever get curious wht sign your kids wud be born into? as in when u discovered u were pregnant, and the docs gave u a due date, did u go back and check the planetary placements for the day?

hope u dont mind

ILWL

*edit* Ok , i think u have gone to sleep now. just in case we don't bump into each other again, i wish u an easy and smooth delivery....whenever it happens....

damn, i'm really curious now wht moon/asc your baby will choose

*edit #2*

a startling thought just occurred to me :-O but i won't say it lest i freak you out...no, i hv to keep my big mouth tightly shut this time : pursed lips:

Hi ILWL!! I have so much to pass on if you want to start working with turquoise, or any other beads Please write me -- my e's at my profile -- or tell me how to IM you (I have MSN Messenger)..... #1 is I wouldn't shop at Jewelex until you're ready for complex projects -- their beads are expensive, one-of-a-kind. Try www.firemountaingems.com or www.shipwreck.com for some practice materials.....

Thank you both for your kudos -- I'm touched by the high esteem in which you hold me!!
