Thank God for the Industrial Revolution...
It was a horrible war fought between Britian (sic) and Germany for control of the seas.

It was not as bloody as the American Revolution, though.

:eyes:

My head hurts.

10. What are you doing?
Teaching a bunch of dalmatians?

I understand that they are hard to teach because of their high energy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalmatian#Temperament

"A large number of Dalmatians land up in shelters and rescue homes, often being stated as being difficult and un-trainable."


However, the fault is with the trainer :P

"A Dalmatian being un-trainable is not true; it is more a problem with the owner's inexperience with dog psychology, dog training, and/or lack of information about the breed than the dog itself (this statement usually holds true in most cases, irrespective of the breed of dog)."

6. It was a war for domination of the land and seas.
Yup. I guess it's a new Manifest Destiny theory, posited by a student who rarely showed up for class.

8. Hah!
No, the French Revolution wasn't very important because it didn't achieve anything, like the American Revolution, which gave us everything we have today.

I'm series.

:hi:
