Campus Mentis: World History According to College Students
by Anders Henriksson (Compiler)
Be prepared to weep as you read Non Campus Mentis: World History According
to College Students, a horrifically hilarious compendium of actual North
American college student essays. Learn about the victims of the Black Death
(who "grew boobs on their necks"), the Automaton Empire, Martin Luther
King's famous "If I Had a Hammer" speech, the Iran Hostess Crisis, Zorroastrologism
(the "duelist" religion "founded by Zorro"), and Joan of Ark, Noah's wife,
at rest on Mt. Arafat. Meet Dim El Sum of Korea, the Vestigal Virgins,
"dedicated to burning the internal flame," and Hitler, who "shot himself
in the bonker." Did you know a position as "lady-in-mating helped a young
girl's chances for a marriage," and "the assignation of Archduke Ferdman
gave sweet relief to mounting tensions," or that "the major cause of the
Civil War is when slavery spread its ugly testicles across the West"? Well,
you'd better buckle down and learn, then! --Tim Appelo - Amazon.com
