Style blossoms, part II

Man, man, man, derzeit lasse ich es ja ziemlich schleifen hier im Blog. Zwar soll man sich ja nicht selbst unter Druck setzen, zumal das hier ja die eigene kleine private Spielwiese ist, in die nichts und niemand reinzufuhrwerken hat, aber dennoch. Und so häufen sich eben noch ein paar Kinofilme an, die behandelt werden wollen, und auch ein Stöckchen harrt der Bearbeitung. Und noch so einiges andere Zeug.

Sozusagen als Lebenszeichen betreibe ich jetzt aber ein wenig Content-Schinding. Vor einiger Zeit ließ ich der werten Etosha ein paar Stilblüten englischer Art auf elektronischpostillischer Weise zukommen. Da sie jedoch nur einen kleinen Auszug daraus veröffentlichte, folgt hier nun sozusagen der zweite Teil mit meinen Hochlichtern aus den Antworten 16-jähriger, die sie im Rahmen des General Certificate of Secondary Education gaben:

  • Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
  • Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.
  • Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out: "Tee hee, Brutus."
  • Another story was William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.
  • One of the causes of the Revolutionary War was the English put tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their parcels through the post without stamps. Finally the colonists won the War and no longer had to pay for taxis. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress.
  • Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. The believed assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposedly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.
  • Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the Organ of the Species. Madman Curie discovered radio. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx brothers.
  • The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West.
