Definition of History

No harm's done to history by making it something someone would want to read. - David McCullough

Good lord! You mean, history doesn't have to be boring? Well, that debunks everything :) I am currently working on a history paper which may or may not be interesting to anyone. Sometimes, there's just no way to make Quakers, Baptists, or Catholics fun. Unless they all walk into a bar...

HISTORY, n. An account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves, and soldiers mostly fools. - Ambrose Bierce
