What's better than...

[Betweenshades]

...an email from a customer in all caps, no punctuation or separate paragraphs?

One in a language I don't understand. In this case, Spanish.

The funny thing was having my boss translate for me; He couldn't make heads or tails of it, and he's a native Spanish speaker.

TGIF.

How about a vocabulary quiz where there's a word bank provided and one of the definitions is "A long conflict between England and France that lasted from 1337 and 1453"...only to have a third of the students miss it.

[BaristaTrav]

Post it.. I'll try babel fish

[Andara Bledin]

I'd go with Google Translate, myself.

I've done that a few times with customers here, actually.

Let's see - between 1337 and 1453. . . wasn't that "The War of 1812?" You know, where Napoleon fought Hitler? Didn't Abraham Lincoln stop that one? Yeah, him and Teddy Roosevelt.

Don't forget about the martians!

*snerk* That's still more info than what my students have seemed to have absorbed.

Wasn't that the Leet War?

.... the Martians were involved in the Spanish-American war, where George Washington single-handedly defeated Godzilla at the battle of Waterloo.

Don't they teach you kinds anything in school these days?

If I recall correctly, Napoleon had some help fighting Hitler from a little Russian dude named Illya Nikovetch Kuryakin.

And the chinese built The Wall to stop Ghadaffis Tsunami...



(Respect to the victims of the actual tsunami. Honor the dead, and help the survivors.)

Join the club . . . I've been that way for years.

Of course, you also have that Great Depression that was caused by the Civil War when they built the great wall of China.

[Kheldarson]

ARGGGH...too much confusing of history!!



But at least it's all creative

I wish I could take credit for the Columbo comment. Sadly I've actually heard somebody say that..seriously. Granted they meant Columbus (which is wrong anyhow), but Columbo..seriously? Well I guess he IS a detective, so maybe he 'detected' America?

While Columbus 'found' America, he wasn't the first.. Edit: Can you find something that somebody else discovered and was never lost?
