6: Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but bby another man of that name.
7: Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died of an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.
8: In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, Jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the Java.
9: Eventualy, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long.

11: Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his subjects by playing the fiddle to them.

13: The writer of the futile ages was Chauncer, who wrote many poems and verses and also wrote literature.
14: Another story was William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.
15: Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "hurrah."
16: It was an age of great inventions and discoverys. Gutenburg invented the removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh was a historical figure. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper.
17: The greatest writer of the renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is only famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Romeo's last wish was to be laid by Juliet.
18: Writing at the same time as Shakespear was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.

Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backwards and declared, "A horse divided against itself cannot stand". Franklin died in 1760 and is still dead.

The sad thing is that I know people that stupid. (How can you *not* tell that that big, black dome on the ceiling in a major hallway here at school is a security camera?)

"of couse all the fighter planes have computers. When they exceed the speed of sound the pilots pass out because the can't hear themselves think. Since a computer thinks faster than a human it takes over."
I had to walk away, laughing in someones face is considered rude.

Believe it or not, encountering stupidity of that level is actually a normal occurance. In fact, today in English is a prime example:
We were having a discussion over Hamlet, and one of the questions for deiscussion was whether or not the Ghost was real, or a figment of imagination. During this, I quoted "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." I actually had a kid ask me to explain it to him.

That took a little while to figure out, but then again, i've never read Hamlet and I'm only in 8th grade. Maybe it was the old english or something.

Then freakin' read it like there is no tomorrow. I say this because it gets used to death. And it is highly suggested that you memorize at least some of the lines.

Being a security guard in the casino and on station up in the hotel walking the halls it gets boring.
We havbe the areas split, up but there is often time to stop and chat. The discussions can be about the next sports game, but we do have conversations about some of the philosphers and Writers. A lot of the young guys are working their way thru college.
"what did he mean by that?" is a fun conversation. "Tyranny of the Majority"
The horatio quote, and several other have come up and been discussed.
Take it either way, Learn it for those time when you can only spend the time talking. or for the Brain Food they tend to provide. Thinking about what you are reading is not a bad thing. "The brain is a muscle that needs excersise"
