History Repeats Itself AGAIN (COURSES: History 102) — Show # 82 — Sept 9, 2016

Dear Precambrian, Cenozoic, Oligocene and Cretaceous creatures,





Welcome to the HAUNTED HOUSE!
BROADCASTING FROM OUR BRAND OLD PLEISTOCENE HOUSE:


In our series of COURSES, today we took a second look at "the register of crimes and misfortunes" that humans like to call HISTORY!

Yes: for the second time! This is HAUNTED HISTORY 102! (waiving History requirements in all colleges of Tennessee and Sri Lanka).

Because we think it's important to talk about the issues nobody talks about anymore, and bring them to you simply and clearly:

Who did what when, and why?
Couldn't he or she have waited a little longer?
Is that all there was to it, or was there more?
And if there was more, where is it now?
Why doesn't what treat us to dinner anymore?
Is it angry at us?
You may ask, is WHAT angry at us?
And we shall say: EXACTLY.
For that is the question. To WHAT is the answer.
And so on, obviously.
 




So we bring you songs about this "fable agreed upon"! Today at 3:00!
Find out the answers to the most pressing historical questions:
- What month was Christmas celebrated in the Precambrian era?
- Who stole the goblin from the goblin jar?
- Exactly what day of the week the Earth was formed?
- What pillow did Napoleon nap on?
- Was Bush to Pleistocene what Dracula is to the Paleozoic? Or is this a false analogy?
- What was real quote from Julius Caesar when he saw Brutus murdering him, with all the censored words?
- When did the  war between Spain and Freedonia begin and what were the real reasons behind it?
- Who was the first prime minister of Fernando Po on the morning of July 2, 1945?

And many more!



With our special team of consultants and panel of experts:



How did we get to this and when will all this exhibitionist obsession end?



History is like nail polishing time: it wears a leopard bathing suit and long eyelashes.



A history at our own house and those old days of yore: Popoff, second to the left after the first one to the right,
