Drunk History...

As many of you may know, I graduated in History before I became a nurse. I love history, and just when I thought it couldn't get any better...Drunk History came along and changed all of that. My friend TR showed me these clips. The basic idea is that they find a historian, get them drunk, and then the historian recounts a historical event. Meanwhile his interpretation is acted out. Please enjoy the video below. There are three swear words, two right at the end and one in the beginning. History can not be edited! :)

What!?! Hamilton had a cell phone. If only the technology had not been lost with him we could have had cell phones years ago. Think of how easy that would have made life. And think of all the historical tragedies we could have avoided. Oh, the Titanic is sinking? One quick call to save that enormous ship. What a historical tragedy.

Sober History:

I just read the wiki article on the duel, and it was pretty interesting, esp. the parts about Burr's intentions, Hamilton's intentions, and the pistols they used.

well, all I have to say is thanks for the idea. I'm putting a healthy dose of rum in my coke every day from here on out...nothing compares to getting sauced before a long day of teaching history. Too bad all my students are 'misguided' youth who have been drunk much more than I and will totally rat me out...
