I used to ask my class, “Where was the battle of Hastings fought?” Got the weirdest answers.
"Then came the Middle Ages, when everyone was middle aged. King Alfred conquered the Dames. King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery. King Harold mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings."
"Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak. She was cannonized by George Bernard Shaw."
"The Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense. The greatest writer of the futile ages was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verse and also wrote literature. One popular story was about William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head."
