TDN Forums, home to the world's most controversial and most pointless discussions. In a non-exclusive state. xD

Nice use of kittens to defuse the situation Theo. I'm a guy, and even I found it irresistibly cute :P

(Look, the one even has its arm around the other!) xD

Mmm, cookies :)

How on earth did one woman have 69 kids? I presume she must have had lots of sets like triplets or whatever. I feel sorry for her anyway *shudder*.

She would have to have had multiple at a time, because otherwise she'd have to have children for almost fifty-two consecutive years o_O

Lol, I was just thinking that. Wunnerful job Theo. :P

 

 

I just found out that Robert Pattinson is related to Vlad the Impaler... :O

She likely had children every year...every ten - 11 months or so, and several multiples as the chances for multiples increase with age. So yeah...there is also a chance she started early (e.g. 16 - 17)

 

And Theo...those kitteh's are kwoot!

Kittens are the way forward :)

When I did psychology A-level our teacher had this odd thing of saying 'pink fluffy bunnies in Happyland!' whenever we were learning about something particularly depressing/hard to handle...it was quite effective at diffusing stuff, lol.

I wish I had your teacher for my social studies class. xD

We're currently going over the holocaust. :mellow:

In history, we just finished the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War. Depressing stuff. Pictures and videos and everything. :sick01: And I thought I wanted to be a doctor.

Posted

Aw, but it isn't as bad now!

America had a good civil war at least...Canada's civil war was a ten hour bar-fight that got outta hand =\

Posted

Lol.

The shortest war in history lasted 40 minutes. It was between Britain and a REALLY small country.

apparently that country no longer exists though

and the longest one is 116 years, Britain and France

and it began in the year 1337 :O

Oy, I dont like history. No, I like history, I dont like my teacher. He is this crazy guy who is always rubbing his bald head and spraying disgusting dandriff everywhere! :sick01: (I dont know how he has it cuz he is bald!) Thank God I dont sit in the front. :laughingsmiley:

I like history class because we don't do work, we just take notes where our teacher tells us what to right down, and our tests are projects where we can use the book

Posted

I don't like history because I'm absolutely horrible with dates, names and the like. Even when I'm coming up with backstory for stuff in my writing, I tend to try and avoid specific dates and names. xD

Posted

Did you just reference the Hundred Years' War? You're awesome Tyler :P

 

I like history. Especially if you look at different movements or time periods, because it's interesting to see how society has changed. I would agree though, most teachers do make it boring. I've just had the luck of having the ones that make it awesome.

Posted

Well, I like to think that I actually manage to make my backstory interesting when I tell it, but Livvy can probably attest to my lack of history-retelling skill. xD

I did a history degree at uni, so I'm a teensy bit biased. I can understand why people don't like it if they don't have good teachers though. I had some brilliant history teachers at school so really enjoyed it. I'm hopeless with dates, but thankfully learning history for me wasn't full of learning names, dates & places! (Well, it isn't at the moment, but the 'new' govt. are apparently wanting it to go back to being like that *sigh*). I had an amazing tutor when I was studying the Anglo-Saxons at Uni, he's one of the world's leading academics on the topic, but he's quite eccentric; he once got up in the middle of one of our sessions, hunted around his room for a while then came back holding a human skull and said 'Feel this! Go on...feel it!' lol. He gave us tea & biscuits too, nom. History is good :)

Sounds like I've been missing out on quite a bit. xD Maybe I should reconsider a career in archaeology...

Posted

I wanted to be an archaeologist, but it's so badly paid & so difficult to get funding for digs that I figured a history degree would be more sensible. The crazy tutor guy was an archaeologist as well as a historian, so he had all sorts of amazing stuff around his room from digs that he'd done, it was great. I always love the idea that when you're holding an artefact you're touching something that people hundreds, even thousands of years ago touched...all the hands that will have touched it, it's mind boggling.

Posted

I've never really liked history. My teachers were generally boring, and I've never been able to remember dates and such, and that's what they always stressed. I could retell stories and such, but never details such as dates.

Posted

Tbh I really like history. Atleast I prefer it to math, science, gym, ect...

 

Btw, I found a college in New York that I really like. It's called the Rochester institute of technology. In like 5 years i'll be in the same state as CAV. WOO! xD
