Wow...this thread is taking off. Okay IvoryFishbone... Today I was in downtown Denver. There is a historic house called "The Molly Brown House". Molly Brown it seems was aboard the Titanic. She survived and went on to be a quite famous person. The Unsinkable Molly Brown as she was called. Today, her home is a museum. I happen to know a few members of the Colorado Historical Society and have been invited to visit the museum on a private photographic tour. Pretty cool. Visit me http://www.radiodenver.org/

I made an entry on the 17th but I can't find it. Maybe it was over 650 words or something, don't know. Although, from reading a great deal of the entries, the majority of writers missed the point somewhat. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennett

How history has impacted my day: I just took a midterm, and these college classes only have midterms because it is tradition! BOO!!

That means absoutely nothing to anyone outside the USA. As far as we are concerned you lot don't seem to get much world history education - and that's a bit of a shame. We also think you don't get irony - but we may be wrong on that.

We also think you don't get irony - but we may be wrong on that. Yes...it's a shame when things have to be explained so even a Brit can understand it. Don...in England, they have University, not College. I assume they have exams, but I wouldn't know if they call the exams at the half way point mid-terms, and I don't even know if they call their seasonal sessions "terms" It's all very confusing. Keep in mind that the U.S. only has approximately 1/4 the population of Great Britain enrolled in college at any given moment, and you'll understand why it gets more confusing the more you think about it.

I did mine last night, just after David Cameron. What a fascinating life he leads. *Don, that's irony*
