ABC Wednesday, I for Interesting facts about history
Thank you Denise Nesbitt for creating ABC. We must thank
Roger too for the weekly job to find ten bloggers for each of the ABC
Team members to visit
and to read their posts. This will be now the letter I.
Some years ago I got this from one of my students, who got it from a friend of his.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
following were answers provided by 6th graders during a history test.
Watch the spelling! Some of the funniest answers are those that are
misspelled...
1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and
they all wrote in hydraulics.They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The
climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live
elswhere.
2. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where
they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without 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 Greek also had myths. A myth is a female
moth.
5.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.
6. In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java.
7.
Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The
Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be king.
Dying, he gasped out "Tee hee, Brutus."
8. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw.
9.Queen
Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen". As a queen she was a success . When
she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted, "Hurrah!"

Oh my goodness, Wil....stop or I'll end up choking! SO SO funny! I think I'll print this out and have my grandson (who is entering grade 6 tomorrow) see if he can figure out why this is so funny. It'll be a challenge for him. Have a great week.

Wil, It is an amusing entry for "I"-good for a laugh! I wonder how many of us could make the corrections?
That was very amusing Wil,
I like the idea if The Virgin Queen exposing herself to her troops,
and they all shouted 'Hurrah'!
Most amusing post indeed!
Best wishes.

Wil, this is so funny I am going to share the link with friends. The climate of Sarah will, of course, be contested by my friend Sarah! So sad, in a way, that these were sixth graders, because WOW! The answers are incredibly lame... Thanks again! Amy
So interesting...
Oh My God! How did you come to choosing this topic. Hilarious! May I share it on Google plus that is with your consent. Loved the myth about women. ;)
Lovely! Lovely! can't seem to stop laughing!
Had it been a performance every one would have cheered "Once more!"
Goedemorgen Wil

Interesting and quite amusing actually...An interesting mix of information I should say :)
Oh those 700 porcupines were probably way too much for that poor King ;>))). I love this kind of wordplay humor. Very cute post.
I think Porcupines might be a very apt translation for where they were going with that one!~
Fine entertainment, thanks.
So cute, love #2.
Ann
today, the Queen became the longest reigning queen. wonder what he needed the porcupines for?
I think its Sahara desert
Informative! :)
Happy ABCW!
Great snippets of information.
Thank you thank you for a hilarious read. - I'd like to see Solomon with the porcupines! Myth is a female moth... Hilarious!! I hope it's okay if I shared your post with my friends on Facebook.
