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.

Elvis should be in history lessons. Freddie Mercury is still very current (my kids are constantly asking me to play Queen songs in the car) as is most of the sixties music. But they should still be taught how today has been shaped by the music of yesterday.
Remember, nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humour!

You don't consider sixty years ago historical enough, or you don't think Elvis deserves a mention?

Thanks (with a caveat on the 'Ass' depending upon whether you refer to the beast or the anatomical area)

Don't know - but we stopped checking grammer when Grandpa objected.
Another caveat on the 'Ass' depends on if you're referring to the political party. (Couldn't they have picked a horse or something more upstanding?)

Why did grandpa object using a spell checker?
He didn't - he objected verbally. :)

erm, am I missing something, or did you not realise there was a pun on 'grammer => grandma'?
Life is like a pubic hair on the toilet seat... ...sometimes, you just get pissed off. .\\axxx (That's an 'M')
There was once a pun on programmer => poor grandma! So it was with a long gone magazine: Programmer's Journal.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Which political party is an ass?

Sorry Maxx. One of the political parties in the U.S. has the logo of an ass. Regards, Jim.
