OT: History a la badfic by

You know how we take typos, bad grammar, and weirdly written stuff very literally in fanfic? Well, here's a compilation of a bunch of those mistakes, made by students writing essays about history. It produces some very funny mental images.
https://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~norman/Jokes-file/StudentBloopers.htm
There's multiple versions of this on the Internet (there's actually one for German history if you're interested), but this one stops after the beginning of WWI, so I figured it'd be the safest one for someone like me to post on the Board. :P
Happy reading.

And the last sentence of this one was just perfect.
Please give us a link to the one concerning German history.
I want to see where that one goes so badly... -

The Obligatory Content Warning That's Only Obligatory Because I'm Twistey: Even before the WWII point is reached, the person who compiled these makes a few (tasteful and well-played) Nazi jokes in response to some of the errors. Reader discretion is advised.
However, this also has links to places where you can find other "student bloopers" compilations, so if you do read this page, you'll be able to find more.

You could tell that some of them really were trying, it just didn't work, which was sort of endearing to me.

That the Spanish Armadillo not only be included as a PPC Animal, but also as a Happy Fun Time Fren of Beep the Discord Hedgehog, Foxbot the Discord GeneriCAF, Beans the Cafeteria Hedgefood, and the Cafeteria Croissant Dragon contingent.
I'm working on a small interlude concerning Beans and the Croissant Dragons, btw, it's just not finished yet. -

On the plus side, the link definitely works.
On the minus side, I feel about as enlightened as I would during the average blackout. =] -
