What Happens When a Man & History Love Each Other Very Much
Bringing the past down a peg
There are a million reasons why history class sucked, from
those impossible map tests, to writing essays about people
like Aaron Burr and Thomas Paine, who it turns out is not ye
olde Auto-Tune dude. Attend a class where the lessons are
fun, and full of expletives: Eff History.
From a duo (and sometimes trio) of crafty Web nerds, FH's a
collection of historic photos with synopses offering up some
less scholarly, more wildly profane descrips of notable
people, events, and achievements, or basically the kind of
perspective you would've gotten in social studies had your
teacher not used a textbook and was Andrew Dice Clay, but
funny. Some of the best learnin' involves revolutionaries
like Joan of Arc, who History urges to take her
antipsychotics and perform a certain sexual act, and Che
Guevara, who gets posterity-pwned with "You know you've done
it wrong when some acne-ridden teenager in Tulsa spilled
ketchup on your forehead, while eating a hot dog at
Wal-Mart, and years later most people thought you were just
a picture of a constipated Dave Navarro wearing a French
artist's hat." The rest of the entries cover considerable
ground, including breakthroughs in political freedom (The
Magna Carta is deemed the worst "FAQ/Terms of Service I've
ever read"), scientific theory (the author, feeling gravity
is self-evident, offers to throw Isaac Newton off a
building), and medicine (antibiotics are "trife" compared to
bedroom enhancers and his girlfriend's synthetic yam-yams).
Material's not just limited to modern history; they reach as
far back in time to as the big bang, about which they say
"Yeah you talkin' loud but you ain't sayin' nothin" which
anybody with a bit of Common Sense can realize also goes for
Sir T of Pain.
