Take a look at this: All I can say is that there are tid-bits and stuff left out of school social studies/history text-books.

They fail to realize that Cristopher Columbus did NOT discover America! Leif Ericson discovered America in AD 1000. 492 years before Columbus stepped into the un-charted.

But, also: Japan gave up in World War II because they were aggressors at the time!

What about the Chinese Holocaust? That was over-shadowed by those damn Nazis. (Not you, Doc, the Nazi-Nazis.)

Did you know that in Japan, they teach that America started the war with them in WWII.

Did you know, that in america, they\'re taught completely different history lessons than their neighbors in Canada because history is so darn subjective.

I\'m sorry to disagree Kiryu, but nomads discovered America about 13,000 years before Eric the Red.

You know how British people think that their history has always gone perfectly (at least, some of them do, not all of them I\'m sure)? Well, how about this. During a coronation, a king had his queen locked out of the church! Who it was and why, I can\'t remember. Also, there have been a lot of other unperfect coronations, but I can\'t remember them. If you want to know, read the book Legends, Lies, and Cherished Myths of World History.

Ok, lets sort this out:

-Colombus was the first to claim ownership
-Erik the Red was the first to document it
-Nomads crossed the path from Asia to Alaska and were (as faar as I know) the first humans to inhabit the continent.

Most theories claim humans originated from Africa, moved north and continued East untill they ended up in America. Of course thats what my History book says

Speaking of changed history. I\'ve found, that in an old, childrens song book owned by my grandpairents, Humpty Dumpty is made to look like Hitler

...why would they? The majority of the Germans are very embarrassed by the nazis. And besides, I think you might have meant the Nazis or neo-nazis. Not the Germans.

Sorry to dissapoint you, Windy~, but one of my friends already has dibs on being the next Hitler (and I don\'t think he\'s kidding, seriously). Anyways, anyone care to know what Ring Around the Rosies really means? It\'s talking about the black plague. Each part is a symptom, except for the end when you fall down. That signifies death.

Don\'t you read the tabloids?

I also heard that animae with the gundams is actually a message that japanese rebels have sent to us...signifying that the japanese is going to attack us in 2007 using gundams to their advantage...OH MY GOD! get my dads grenade launcher!

You don\'t have your facts straight Blademan. First, pocket full of posies is not a symptom. Second, for this nursery rhyme to be from the 1300\'s, it should have been written down once, but it first appeared in a book of rhymes in 1837. Also, alternative versions of the rhyme have no similarities to the black death.

This one is a bit graphic, so I\'ll highlight this one in spoiler. KIDS: Don\'t READ the spoiler! If you don\'t, I\'ll give you candy! If you do, God knows what\'ll happen........

Yup. Japan is perverted.

Also: during the 9/11 incident, images of King Kong were on the \'net, and it featured him standing on them, swatting the planes.

Anyone is perverted, you twit.

And so? Everyone and their mom saw the king kong pics.

This topic is embarrassing as there\'s no real discussion of history, just what\'s been posted online and some facts that are highly questionable.

I\'m not familiar with the world history but I\'m currently studying US History 2 for fun. >P
