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!"»I hope you've enjoyed it. There's a lot of quotes around you may find just googling the book.

Oddly, this is the only one of the above quotations which is factually correct. I'm quite proud of the achievement, actually.

The historical map section is hilarious. You can take a look using the look inside feature at Amazon. It's the product of ignorant students that raise the bet and try to disguise their lack of knowledge, criteria and common sense by adding humoristic touches -the "they better think I don't care instead of thinking I don't know" approach-. It's not a country named "Whales" that is in Ireland nor placing Lake Erie at Lake Ladoga (and calling it "Eerie"), but the "Papal Dominion of Arizona" or calling the Tuscans "Samsonites". If you gave the maps a thought you may spot a couple of smart underachievers.
Besides of he being the more-than-posthumous son of the famous reformer and not Reverend King's.

Perhaps he was a fan of Trini López who recorded the song of that name?
