    One more while the board is down

    A compilation of statements from actual school papers:

    1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in
    Hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and the climate of
    the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.

    2. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red sea, where they made
    unleavened bread which is bread made without any ingredients.
    Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He
    died before he ever reached Canada.

    3. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines.

    4. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them
    we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had Myths. A Myth is a
    female moth.

    5. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of
    that name.

    6. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving
    people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of
    wedlock. After his death his career suffered a dramatic decline.

    7. Eventually the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls
    people Romans because they never stayed in one place for long.

    8. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of
    Gaul. The ides of March murdered him because they thought he was
    going to be made King. Dying, he gasped out: 'Tee hee, Brutus.'

    9. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard
    Shaw. Finally Magna Carta provided that no man should be hanged
    twice for the same offense.

    10. Another story was William Tell who shot an arrow through an
    apple while standing on his sons head.

    11. Queen Elizabeth was the 'Virgin Queen.' As a Queen she was a
    great success. When she exposed herself before her troops they
    all shouted 'hurrah.'

    12. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg
    invented removable type and the Bible. Another important
    invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a
    historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started
    smoking. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot
    clipper.

    13. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William
    Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his
    birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of
    his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all
    in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of heroic
    couplet. Romeo's last wish was to be laid by Juliet.

    14. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare 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.

    15. One of the causes of the Revolutionary War was the English
    put tacks in their tea. Also the colonists would send their
    parcels through the post without stamps. Finally the colonists
    won the war and no longer had to pay for taxis. Delegates from
    the original 13 states formed the contented congress. Thomas
    Jefferson, a virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of
    the declaration of independence. Franklin discovered electricity
    by rubbing two cats backwards and declared, 'A horse divided
    against itself cannot stand.' Franklin died in 1790 and is still
    dead.

    16. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a
    large number of children. In between he practiced on an old
    spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to
    the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and
    so was Handel. Handel was half German and Half Italian and half
    English. He was very large.

    17. 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 from this.

    18. The ninteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and
    inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started
    reproducing by machine. The invention of the steam boat caused a
    network of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the
    McCormick raper, which did the work of a hundred men.

    19. Louis Paster discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was
    a naturalist who wrote the organ of the species. Madam Curie
    discovered radio. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers.

    20. The first world war, caused by the assignation of the Arch-
    Duck by an anahist, ushered in a new error in the anals of human
    history.
