My boss, of all people, sent me this link, and it was so good I thought you all might enjoy it as well. Below are some of my favourites:
13. The French always lose. If the French win it is because they are fighting themselves, being led by someone who is not French, or the US is doing all of the fighting. It?s best to just ignore France.
23. The Romans declared war on China. They didn?t know where China was or what it was but they thought it would be a good idea to declare war on it just in case. It?s always good to declare war on people you don?t know?as long as they don?t find out and kill you.
28. You can piss off a king. The worst he can do is kill you. Don?t piss off the pope. He can send you to hell. Nobody likes hell.
29. The Jews are smart. They don?t have a hell.
33. Don?t kill the grandson of a prophet.
34. Never pick on a civilization that can burn water. We don?t know what Greek fire was, but we know that it was cool.
35. Don?t mess with Genghis Khan unless you want to live your deepest fears.
51. Strawberry pop-tarts will shoot 3 foot flames out of your toaster if you leave them in there for a really long time.
56. The Hindus invented zero. If they hadn?t, most of our grades would be much higher.
60. Switzerland is cool?they have chocolate, pocket knives, watches, banks, the most armed society in the world, and a military that is so effective, its banned from most wars by international law. Not even Hitler was stupid enough to mess with the Swiss.
67. St. Peter?s Basilica cost the Catholic Church Germany.
