Woah, How Rude of Me!

I realize that I have neglected to bring anything to the figurative table on this particular blog. So, here it goes: I did this for my friend Shawna's blog at www.eurantale.com. This is just one in her series of "You may be a _____ major if" or "How to tell if your friend is a _____ major." Here is one for History.

1. You fall out of your chair laughing when a classmate wants to know if "Delaware is a state".

2. You find it hilarious that when you type in "Aztec Sacrifices" into Google, "for kids" comes up.

3. You love Indiana Jones, but dispute when things took place.

4. You throw a fit every time you hear President Bush's speech welcoming the Queen of England to the United States.

5. You notice obscure things about Presidential assassinations. Like how the assassins names are always all three names: Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth, just as an example.

6. You love the first National Treasure, mostly because it is believable, but hate the second one, because really, how could there be a treasure in Mount Rushmore and the builders didnt find it?

7. You refer to Istanbul as Constantinople.

8. Family members ask you for questions related to history.

9. You’ve often pondered things like, “what would happen if Napoleon won the Battle of Waterloo?”

10. Your personal hero lived over 500 years ago.

11. Your #1 destination is the Library at Alexandria.

12. You complain about inaccuracies in “historical” films.

13. You observe your favorite historical figures’ birthdays and death anniversaries.

14. You imagine yourself making commentaries on history like the historians do in the documentaries.

15. You shudder when you see the book “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” because that’s just WRONG!
