WWII in a nutshell
-
I'd laugh, but I'm afraid that this is how kids are going to be expected to answer questions on WW2. Slightly OT - my 10 year old nephew told me what he's doing in history; Elvis Presley - I sh!t you not, he's studying Elvis in history.

My daughter is actually doing WWII in school. I should show her this when I get home. Elvis in history class is beyond tragic tho.

Yep. In a Modern Music History course, maybe, but something like a world history class, no.

Oh how I wish. It would be a great excuse to get my old T-shirts out and regain some of the cool I haven't had in the last 30 years.

Sign of the times of my generation not knowing anything about the world. Vietnam had 5 very very short paragraphs. I wasn't happy considering my father could tell me more than that about it.

I know what you mean. I know more Vietnam war vets who could tell me more about what happened than any school history books.

why would your 20 year old t-shirt strangle Pete? What's he ever done to it?

Why did grandpa object using a spell checker? Was he afraid using spell checkers would promote laziness?
