Ouch! And remember, we're supposed to look to college campuses for guidance on social and political issues and how to think "correctly."

Dickens made this point in 'The Tail of Two Sisters' ...

That's A Sale of Two Titties. DUH!

I believe I quote Bluto Blutarsky (GPA 0.0) when I say, "WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR?!? HELL NO! AND IT AIN'T OVER NOW! 'CAUSE WHEN THE GOIN' GETS TOUGH...THE TOUGH GET GOIN'! WHO'S WITH ME?!?"

This sounds like a Norm Crosby monologue! It would be funny if it weren't so tragic. I can't watch shows like "Street Smarts," or the Jay Walking segments on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno: It's just too painful to see these people being proud of being ignorant.

I must get a copy of this book for a friend who teaches history at a community college outside of Philadelphia. She has her own collection of blue-book classics. My favorite was the kid who reported that the cause of the First World War was "the assassination of the Duck and Duckess of Austria."

The trouble is, it would be just like those Canadian teachers to work Canada into ancient history in order to bolster national pride, and to see if the kids were sleeping.

Those of you who suspected all along that Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman were one in the same person will be glad to know that "Stalin, Rosevelt, Churchill and Truman were known as the 'Big Three.'

Someone who is lecturing others about their poor knowledge of history should try to get their grammar right.

Google shows us that a huge number of people are using "one in the same", an expression which doesn't even make sense. The original and proper expression is "one and the same".
