Talking Non Campus Mentis

While looking for interesting texts to practise some English, I was browsing the Education subforum in randi.org and came across Professor Anders Henriksson's book called Non Campus Mentis, a compilation of horrors perpetrated by college students.

Some quotes from this, the funniest way to learn English:
«Cesar was assassinated on the Yikes of March when he is reported to have said "Me too, Brutus!"»

«Anarchism is a system of government headed by an Anarch. Canada, for example, became an anarchy in 1867.»

«The British defeated the French from 1793 to 1815, but at gastronomic cost.»

«Judyism had one big God named "Yahoo"»

«Wars fought in the 1950s and after included the Crimean War, Vietnam, and the Six-Minute War. John F. Kennedy worked closely with the Russians to solve the Canadian Missile Crisis»

«Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize for inventing the radiator»

«The Civil Rights movement turned around the corner with Martin Luther Junior's famous "If I had a hammer" speech»

«The Parthenon was Pericles' greatest erection»
I hope you've enjoyed it. There's a lot of quotes around you may find just googling the book.
